Any UK based people want to sell me a trigger section I can use on my King 3B, or sell me a sensibly priced good condition King 3B with a trigger?
I have a straight 3B I bought used from Rath’s last year, serviced by them prior to purchase. Could put into some sort of cash/swap arrangement. Love the instrument, need the flexibility of a trigger though.
Extra points for being in the North West of England.
Sadly shipping and other cost make importing unaffordable.

Have you asked Mick about the cost to add a trigger to your 3B or even making it convertible?
Just a thought

Not even crossed my mind but a great idea! I’m going to ask him and I’ll let you know what happens.TromboneSam wrote: ↑Tue Aug 30, 2022 9:52 pm Have you asked Mick about the cost to add a trigger to your 3B or even making it convertible?

Having said that, if anyone has any triggers or horns for sale in UK I’m still very interested.

Re: WTB King 3B/F
Well, I called Mick’s place. They got back to me and the cost of parts and labour is about double the value of the horn. Sadly, it’s a no go. Still searching
