King 607f
Trombone - Vintage, Needs TLC, Marching Band Beast!
Are you a trombone lover
who appreciates the classic sound and style of a vintage instrument? Do you
want to own an example of musical history that has been featured in many
marching bands since the 70s? Do you enjoy fixing up old instruments and giving
them a new life? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this
listing is for you!
If you are looking for a beast
of a trombone that will stand up and be heard, look no further than this
trombone! This is a King 607F Trombone, a medium-large bore instrument with a
traditional wrap F attachment. It was manufactured in 1976 by King Musical
Instruments, a renowned brand name for brass instruments since 1893. This
trombone has a yellow brass bell and a nickel silver outer slide, giving it a
rich and warm tone with excellent projection. It is a versatile trombone that
can be used for various musical styles, from classical to jazz to pop.
This trombone is in good
working condition, but it needs some TLC and shows some signs of wear and tear.
It has a smooth slide action (8 out of 10), the main tuning slide pulls but the
F attachment tuning slide is stuck. The F attachment also has a bit of a buzz
when engaged. The lacquer is missing and scratched in some areas, and there is
a dent on the bell throat. All of these issues are minor and can be easily
fixed by a professional repair technician. The trombone comes with a Getzen
bass trombone coffin case that has a great interior and fits the trombone
perfectly.
This trombone
is suitable for beginners, intermediate, and advanced players. It is especially
ideal for marching band as the medium bore allows for great projection while
not being too taxing on the lungs. You will need to provide your own
mouthpiece, but you can find many options on eBay. For beginners, a small shank
12C or 6 1/2 Bach style mouthpiece is recommended.
Please note that this is a
used instrument and it will need some cleaning and servicing by a repair tech.
However, it is ready to play as soon as you receive it. I am a professional
trombone player and an amateur repairman, and I have tested this trombone
personally. I have also included photos that show the condition of the trombone
and the case.
This is a final sale, so
please review the photos and ask questions before bidding/buying. There are no
returns. International shipping will be completed through eBay’s International
Shipping Program. I will ship via FedEx.
