I have contacted the seller, he provides me some photo

And a detailed info about the state of the trombone :
""""""
The trombone belonged to a student who's now at a conservatoire and required an independent bass, so upgraded. It's in good overall condition and very good mechanically. Areas of note; There’s some lacquer wear on the bell/trigger main brace where some solder work has been done. Some dents have been removed from the bell and there's slight lacquer/brass bruising where they once were. The inner legs are still fitted with the factory spring bumpers which make it noisier than it could be and has very minor wear on the inner legs. Going over this wear, it does look to be from use rather than corrosion. There's some slight pitting on the handslide inner braces where held. It's just been completely serviced by Adrian Jarvis, one of the UK's best trombone repairers, so the handslide feels great and the rotors and been fully re-configured back to factory. """"""

Can anyone share me your ideas , advice etc. Since it will be my first bass trombone

In case u have something to offer me / sell, dont hesitate to offer the bass trombone can be with 1 or 2 valve aswell, since its not for symphony use

Thank you all

If Adrian Jarvis has worked his magic on it then it will be in as good working order as it can be FYI Adrian is a bass bone player himself

As for how it plays, that can only be answered by playing it

If only the seller is closer, to try it, but unfortunately is far away from me
I am interested in these pictures of handsline, inner tubes with these recesses, holes or whatever, would there be any problems and possible change of them, or?

Hello,

Good luck on your bass trombone search. I have a wonderful customized single-valve bass trombone, with excellent provenance, listed for sale:

Where are you located?

Cheers,

Thank you Dave
Im from Eu...

If it were me I'd be all over it. But I'm coo coo for Conn. With some modernization you can have a kickass bass.

An approximate budget would be very helpful here.

Well, i was thinking around : netto till cca 1800 usd, since the import fee to my country is + cca 35 % .if thr hornnos from usa.

If its from eu, then till 2000 eur...

Thx
