Please look carefully at each picture.as photos speak a thousand words! PLEASE CONTACT US WITH ANY CONCERNS. Comes in a hard protective case in OK condition. Bell diameter-8" Some dings and small dents. Solid Horn! Serial number: 05319 Valves move well. But does have two points of duct tape reinforcements, and one of three(center) latche missing(pictured) Thank you for looking!īid on this Vintage BLESSING ARTIST Marching Trombone + Case. It will come with the original case in fair condition- protective and does the job fine. However, slide is pretty good with no wear on inner tubes, and will play right out of the box.


A bell crease(pictured- should easily roll out in hands of a brass tech, if it bugs you) and some lacquer wear. It does have some cosmetic issues- some minor dings. It can play sweet, but can also put out great volumes. It has all the pros of a King 3B, and pretty good one at that. 508" bore slide, and nickel silver outer slide tubes with brass crook. Also discontinued is this B-5 that is up for sale here, but many players, including Blessing endorsed artists(they had those back in the day) still consider this model to be the best of the bunch. B-78, B-8, B-88 were all based on Conn trombones(78H, 79H, 8H, 88H respectively) and have a reputation of being 95% of the Conn for much less money- these are still in production under different model numbers(BTB" instead of"B" There was a double trigger bass trombone, B-98, which for the most part was not received very well, but based on Bach 50B3 nonetheless.

Here's my impression of the horn Blessing company has designed a series of trombones that were based on some of the well known models from other companies. So I believe I can answer most questions you may have about this horn. And it is guaranteed to play right out of the box.
