Blessing Artist Valve Trombone (with slide)
Posted: Sun Sep 08, 2024 3:26 pm
A young friend just dropped off the subject trombone and asked if I'd like to make an offer. He's trying to help a friend sell it. Knowing nothing about its history, I can only go by the condition, which is very good for what appears to be a 50+ year-old horn.
There are a couple of very minor dings in the bell and some lacquer spotting on the top of the valve section. Both slide and valve action are very good - I'd say 8/10 for each. The serial numbers are 1958XX on the valve section and 1792XX on the slide. I could not find a serial number on the bell section.
It comes with functional coffin case, a gold-plated Bach 12C and a silver-plated Bach 12C.
From our Blessing experts, I'd really appreciate some help valuing this instrument.
Thanks,
Joel
