hey, Im new. My name is Alex. I'm going to the Crane School of Music next year for Trombone, and Im gonna get a jazz bone for a graduation present. I've narrowed it down to the point where I just want an old King 2B Jazz horn. Call me a snob... but Im aware I'm stubborn. Anyway. I want to ask if re-lacqured trombones are just as good as re-larqured sax's which is to say that they aren't that good. I found this one trombone on ebay (I've used ebay before... so I know what Im getting into...)
As I write this, the bidding for that horn is at 760 dollars. If it sells for that, wow, what a deal. I doubt it will though. I'll be keeping an eye on it myself. What a great condition that horn is in!
A 2B is a great horn. I'm a 3B guy myself, but have been eyeballing smaller horns lately.
Good luck finding a horn. Also, consider contacting DJ Kennedy from the Trombone Forum, his inventory of good used horns is extensive. Also the Trombone Forum classifieds have some good deals.
