This is an original Benge 165F F-Trigger trombone. This horn has virtually no denting having only remnants of dents on the bell section and a couple minor imperfections in the main tuning slide. Bell section has scars in the lacquer from remediated dents. Finish is pretty good, but it does show minor lacquer wear throughout. There are also scratches here and there from normal use. Inner slide tubes are virtually spotless. I rate the slide a 9/10. All braces are solid. Trigger works as it should and is in alignment. Tuning slides move well. Includes the original Benge case and a Jupiter large shank mouthpiece. Horn was serviced: Slide job, trigger alignment, tuning slide polish. Sounds great and functions 100% as it should.

Horn is being sold as-is, with no returns in the condition shown in the pictures, so please review all images and message me with any questions. I'll be happy to respond to inquires!
I am always open to reasonable offers. Keep in mind that eBay charges a higher sellers premium than Reverb, so I typically have lower prices and more flexibility on Reverb, which is like eBay just for instruments.
I play, buy, collect and sell trombones and attempt to describe the horn in the way in which I would want it described.
All the horns I sell are in playable condition, unless otherwise stated. Some may have cosmetic wear, which will be shown in the pictures. More pictures may be available on my Reverb listing for this instrument.
A cheaper list price and no tax may also be available on Reverb.
Please submit payment for all purchases within 24hrs, unless an arrangement is made via the messaging system prior to purchasing the item.

Please provide an address other than a P.O. box as I typically ship via UPS or FedEx. Destinations other than Canada and Mexico may incur additional shipping charges, so I will be happy to invoice you the appropriate shipping amount. It will be well packed and insured.
