essexbasscat Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Hi all Up for grabs is a Silver Yamaha Trombone. It's been used and comes in a hard case. It's hardly been used since buying it from Benbastin on this forum around a year ago. It has a few dings for it's age. Ben described it as a very good 'beater' instrument to use out and about. But don't let that fool you about the qualtity of the instrument, as Yamaha have a reputation for making instruments that play very well and this one's no exception. I'm only looking for what I paid for it which is £80.00 collected. I'm willing to post if the buyer pays carriadge. Thanks for looking folks T Edited March 25, 2012 by essexbasscat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the reason why I grabbed it when it came up ! However, a new project calls, so something's got to give. Move on up !

Alec 'Aleb' Mills Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) You don't happen to have any photo's of it, do you? And the condition of the slide? Cheers. Edited March 24, 2012 by Alec 'Aleb' Mills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the slide also moves very easily, I'd say the tubes are pretty parallel and it's a good functioning instrument.

essexbasscat Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Right. Captain disorganised here. I screamed through the day yesterday almost without stopping from getting out of bed until I fell back into it. So I've finally got back to this ! I've checked the numbers and it's a model YSL 64T, instrument no 03615. The photos don't show it well, but the finish is patchy and tarnished over quite a bit. There's a dent in the bell (which I've hopefully captured in the picture and a dent in the last bend The finish isn't pitted however. I've added this as I want to be as honest with this ad as I can. As I said, I'm only asking what I paid for it. Given it functions well, I have no doubt it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexbasscat Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 [quote name='tbonepete' timestamp='1333352393' post='1600253'] That will be 641 then. Cheers Pete [/quote] Thanks Pete, the numbers aren't the clearest, so you're probably right. The 4's definately a 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
