From King: 

"The King 3B trombone is built with a classic jazz trombone style in mind.  It features a .508” bore for excellent control in all ranges of the instrument.  The yellow brass bell offers a quick response. A vintage balancer and deluxe style bell engraving are included on this trombone.  A sleek hard shell case protects this trombone when not in use.  These king small bore straight trombones have set the standard in jazz performance for generations."

This trombone arrived here in our shop in good condition, but did require some work before being put up for sale. There were a few dents in the bell, and a patch needed to be in stalled on the hand-slide crook . Cleaning was not needed on this instrument, but it did get a play-test after the patch was installed and the dents were worked out. It has our technician's stamp of approval, and is ready to go. A hard case in good condition is included, but it is not the original King case. Most of the lacquer wear on this instrument is located on the gooseneck, and a few scratches from use will be found there, too. Evidence of denwork, and a few scratches can also be found on the bell and main tuning slide, and along the outer hand-slides. This type of wear is cosmetic only, and is common on vintage horns. There is no evidence of plating wear on the inner slides.
