Straight from our brass (and silver) instrument repair shop, our USED horns are brought back to life...All major dents are removed, joints re-soldered (if needed), patches repaired (if necessary) and the slides reworked.  Our horns may be buffed, but all are hand polished to a good shine and are in good playable condition.  We are proud to offer this refurbished instrument for sale. We have tried to describe it as it is, and are happy to answer any questions asked.  #57/2016Up for sale is a Bach Stradivarius Model 16 Trombone, made by Vincent Bach Corporation, Elkhart Ind, USA.  Serial # 324xx; which would be manufactured approx 1978 per the Bach Loyalist website. There is a matching serial # 324xx on the slide.  The trombone is made of yellow brass and solid nickel. There are only a very few minor dings and blemishes, with very light pitting at the handle grips...overall, it is in very good condition.  The slide is very good and the stockings show very light wear; there is a small coating chip on one end of the slide tube.  This instrument is not lacquered and will need to be polished periodically, if played often (we recommend using Weiman METAL Polish). This trombone comes with a small shank mouthpiece and and will be shipped in an original, worn case, which is missing some strapping on the inside, but is in decent condition.  The bell is 7 1/2", with medium dual bore .495/.509.  The 16 Series features a medium bore to allow even more options on sound color and versatility.  Equally at home in the symphony or the jazz ensemble with a light but powerful sound.  A real pleasure to play...Thanks for looking and check out our other items!775-301-6289Please note:  our usual shipping days are on Monday and/or Tuesday, but may be able to arrange shipping on other days if possible.  We try to accommodate if we can...! **Note if choosing FedEx, shipping must go to a physical address, not a PO Box.
