There is a lot of wear on the gooseneck and it has worn through to the brass. I can feel a tiny dent in the gooseneck but the majority of little dents are on the underside of the bell and they are pictured as well.This Reynolds Emperor Tenor Trombone, Model TO-52 from the 1970s is a great addition to any brass collection. The instrument has a nickel-silver bell flare and is finished in nickel silver, and comes with a case. This tenor trombone is perfect for musicians looking for a high-quality instrument to play in an orchestra or brass band. The valve material is nickel plated, ensuring a smooth and responsive playing experience. The trombone is branded Reynolds, a trusted name in the brass instrument industry. The color of this tenor trombone is brass with nickel receiver, inner nickel slides and nickel gooseneck and a nickel bell flair. She is in great playing shape with new spit valve cork and a freshly lubed and cleaned slide. Minor dings on gooseneck and on bell. Nothing impacting play!
