Up for sale is one of the most distinctive voiced bass trombones ever produced! This was originally released in the 1960’s.
Two engineers at King, (George McKracken and Chuck Ward) worked closely with the musician Alan Raph to design and refine what would become the ‘Duo Gravis’ Bass trombone for King. Also known as the King 6B, the Duo Gravis was marketed during the ‘Commercial’ hey day of the 1960’s and the 1970’s, and is still considered the bass trombone of choice for a wide range of musicians in the industry.
Condition This trombone is in really fine condition. As you will see in the photos, the instrument has not ever sustained any serious damage at all.THERE WAS A DENT PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED ON THE BELL.
THERE ARE THREE VERY SMALL DINGS AROUND THE HORN THAT ARE HARDLY NOTICEABLE. THERE IS LIGHT PLATING WEAR ON THE HANDSLIDE FROM USAGE ALSO HARDLY NOTICABLE.
ONE OWNER - IN EXCELLENT PLAYING AND COSMETIC CONDITION. THE BASS TROMBONE WAS JUST CHEMICALY CLEANED AND BOTH ROTOR VALVES WERE ALINGED AND OILED AND PLAYS BEAUTIFULL.
