Description
This King trombonium is in good condition! It has 97%+ of the original silver finish. It is a satin finish with satin accents. There is some evidence of bell dent removal. There are some minor dents and dings throughout the body of the horn from typical player wear. The felt for the first valve top cap is white and does not match the red of the other two. Please see pictures for details. The serial number is “452838” making this a 1965-1970 vintage trombonium. The engraving on the bell reads “King Trombonium King Musical Instruments Eastlake Ohio”. This horn has a detachable bell. No mouthpiece is included with the instrument. It comes with the original King case in older used condition. There is some paint on the case and the inside does have that old horn smell to it. The trombonium plays very well with that iconic King warm sound and good overtones.
