This is a legendary KING 3BPLG jazz trombone. High-quality instruments with a medium-bore are becoming less common each year, so don't miss this opportunity. Here are the specifications and my personal impressions: 【Bell】8-inch, two-piece gold brass bell Gold brass bells are generally known for their rich sound and slightly heavier feel. However, perhaps because it's a two-piece bell, or perhaps because it's a KING, I didn't feel it was as heavy as the 3B (yellow brass) I owned previously. Compared to yellow brass, the sound is more subdued, but since KING instruments are originally quite sharp, I think it achieves an exquisite balance. 【Slide】 .525-inch bore, nickel silver slide Many medium-bore instruments are designed with a large bore in mind, like the Bach 36, but this instrument clearly feels more like a small bore from the sound it produces. This is probably because it uses the same nickel narrow slide as the KING 3B, although the bore is different. By the way, the Bach 36 has a wider slide design than the 16, with a large bore in mind. While maintaining the bright sound and responsiveness typical of KING, it reduces the issues of accidental sound bursts and unwanted noise that KING users often struggle with, and it also has a wider tolerance for blowing, making it very comfortable to play. I think it's a rare instrument that can handle lead parts in a big band while still being a medium bore. On the other hand, it might be a bit difficult for orchestral playing. ※The lacquer color is dark, so it looks like yellow brass, but it is nickel silver. 【Shank】Small shank (small bore) A small shank mouthpiece can be attached. 【Surface Finish】(Amber) Lacquer It has an amber lacquer finish typical of vintage American trombones, and I think it's a rather dark color. It has a cool color similar to the "amber lacquer" used on vintage Yamaha saxophones. 【Accessories】 • Genuine 3-piece balancer It has been replaced from a 2-piece type to a 3-piece type (approx. 40,000 yen). It gives the impression of a clearer sound. • protec jazz tenor case Approx. 2.4kg, light weight. Comes with backpack straps. 【Condition】 Slide: Good Lacquer: High remaining rate, some scratches and wear Dents: Dimple on the bell, otherwise good Please feel free to comment if you have any questions or would like to negotiate the price.
