King 4B Trombone with F attachment -

Tallahassee, FL
Description:
I've taken excellent care of this horn because 1977, when I bought it pre-owned from my buddy, Steve Foxworth at the University of South Carolina, who was the initial owner (identification number 478970). This trombone is from an unusual batch where the word "Sonorous" was mis-spelled as "Sonoris." It is considered an intermediate or professional brand name - not your regular student horn. The condition is good and would be excellent if I had actually recently lacquered it. If you desire me to lacquer it before offering the price goes up to $1200, at which point it will be in ideal condition. All horns have to be re-lacquered every 2-4 years. This is typical and does not influence noise. Old yet timeless horns like this are worthy of some history telling as they are complete of memories. I was first trombone for the USC Marching Band, Jazz Band, Symphonic Orchestra and some combo groups I was in. You can check out the archives of USC to see some of the greats this horn had fun with from 1976-1980. After college I did some church jobs however I didn't play it much as I never suched as bench scene, which is an advantage because it is well-preserved. Much better yet, this horn has literally sung the splendors of God and known some unbelievable noise. There is nothing so wonderfully stereophonic as being seated in an excellent orchestra as it plays. My favorites were the low brass choirs. Definitely special. This horn plays wonderfully and has a really complete tone. The F accessory in this model is perfectly positioned behind bench for simple dependable control back or forth and I can not reveal the value of that sufficient. I suggest you purchase the horn as is. Relacquering costs $300-600, which you can do yourself for less, but I suggest you have a professional do it at that cost if at all since bad re-lacquering can ruin a great horn like this. The actual value in best condition for this horn is around $2,400 but with the mis-spelling I'm sure you might get much more. Because I am desparate to raise cash at this time, I'm only selling it low-cost. It had some really small damages you can see I've fixed, which it's next lacquering will cover over. You can get less expensive trombones in comparable condition however you cannot get a brand-new King 4B Sonorus at all, specifically one from this specific mis-spelled batch. They stopped making all Kings in the 1980s, when King was bought out by Selwin. This horn will certainly enhance in value for the rest of its future as a rare item of superior quality. Rarity aside, for many years, lots of popular experts have endorsed King trombones so you can be guaranteed this is absolutely nothing however the very best. Tommy Dorsey made use of a King trombone throughout his profession. Jimmy Dorsey, William Bell, Ray Anthony, Vaughn Monroe, Johnny "Scat" Davis, Harry James, Nat Adderley, Kai Winding, Yusef Lateef, Cannonball Adderley and Mel Davis all advised King above other brand names. This horn has an F accessory that is vital for reaching notes in the lower range and helpful for hitting notes quick. The tenor is simple on the lips for the high variety and ideal for solo gamers. If you're grossed out by old mouth pieces you'll have to buy your own. Otherwise, boil it to disinfect and it'll prepare to play. I'm offering it with the initial case. It's all in good condition and the horn sounds sweet as ever despite the fact that my lip is long out of shape.
