This is an original Blessing B88 Artist F-Attachment trombone. This horn has virtually no denting present having only very minor
remnants
of dents on the bell section. Finish is very good, but there are a couple scratches here and there from normal use. There is also a little finish wear present near hand contact points. Inner slide tubes are essentially spotless, minus a couple minor spots of plating wear that have been buffed clean on one tube. I rate the slide a 9/10. All braces are solid. Tuning slides move nicely. Trigger functions and rebounds as it should. Includes a nice, original Blessing case, which is in equally good original shape, and a Blessing mouthpiece.
Horn was serviced. Service may have included: Slide and tuning job and alignment, polish, and minor dent removal.
Horn is being sold as-is, with no returns in the condition shown in the pictures, so please review all images and message me with any questions. I'll be happy to respond to inquires!
I am always open to reasonable offers. Keep in mind that eBay charges a higher sellers premium than Reverb, so I typically have lower prices and more flexibility on Reverb, which is like eBay just for instruments.
I play, buy, collect and sell trombones and attempt to describe the horn in the way in which I would want it described.
All the horns I sell are in playable condition, unless otherwise stated. Some may have cosmetic wear, which will be shown in the pictures. More pictures may be available on my Reverb listing for this instrument.
A cheaper list price and no tax may also be available on Reverb.
Please submit payment for all purchases within 24hrs, unless an arrangement is made via the messaging system prior to purchasing the item. Shipping is flat on eBay and flat on Reverb within the 48 United States through USPS, UPS, or FedEx (whichever is faster and most cost-efficient) and 0 minimum on eBay and minimum on Reverb to Canada and Mexico. Please provide an address other than a P.O. box as I typically ship via UPS or FedEx. Destinations other than Canada and Mexico may incur additional shipping charges, so I will be happy to invoice you the appropriate shipping amount. It will be well packed and insured. Most horns are shipped without any slide lubricant.
Free local pick-up is available in the suburbs of Chicago.
