HOLTON TR-160 PROFESSIONAL OPEN WRAP LARGE BORE TROMBONE-EXCELLENT ALL AROUND - $1,395 - (Largo, FL)
ONE OF IF NOT THE BEST LARGE BORE F ATTACHMENT OPEN WRAP TENOR TROMBONES THAT I HAVE EVER PLAYED. IF THERE WERE NOT A VERY FEW SPOTS OF LACQUER WEAR (MAIN SLIDE-MINIMAL) THIS DENT FREE HORN WOULD BE LIKE NEW. THE MAIN SLIDE HAS NO WEAR AND IS EXTREMELY SMOOTH AND FAST. THE TUNING SLIDES PULL FREELY. THE HORN OVERALL IS YELLOW BRASS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BELL WHICH IS ROSE BRASS. WHILE IT PROJECTS EXTREMELY WELL (HAS A 9" BELL) THE SOUND IS VERY MELLOW DUE TO THE BELL MATERIAL. ANOTHER PLUS IS THAT THE BALANCE OF THE TROMBONE IS OUTSTANDING AND CAUSES VERY LITTLE STRAIN ON YOUR SHOULDER AND NECK. I OWNED ONE OF THE THESE INSTRUMENTS A FEW YEARS AND DUE TO AN OFFER THAT I COULDN'T REFUSE-SOLD IT TO ONE OF THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO WAS LOOKING FOR A BACH STRAD. ONCE HE PLAYED THIS HORN, HE HAD TO HAVE IT. I WAS NOW WITHOUT A TENOR AND HAD TO GO IN SEARCH OF. I DID FIND A SUBSTITUTE BUT WAS NEVER COMPLETELY SATISFIED. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AFTER SEARCHING FIVE YEARS UNSUCCESSFULLY, I FOUND ANOTHER TR-160 AND WAS ELATED. WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT, I CAME ACROSS YET ANOTHER WHEN I LEAST SUSPECTED IT AND THIS IS THE HORN THAT IS FOR SALE. I FIND IT UNECESSARY TO HAVE A FLEET OF TR-160'S EVEN AS GOOD AS THEY ARE. INCLUDED IS THE ORIGINAL CASE WITH A HANDLE THAT I INSTALLED ON THE END. ALSO INCLUDED IS A BACH 5GS MOUTHPIECE AND A CLEANING ROD. FYI. THESE HORNS ARE STILL AVAILABLE NEW FROM A NUMBER OF SOURCES FOR $2,400.00 DISCOUNTED. LIST PRICE IS RIDICULOUS. I WILL PROVIDE FREE SHIPPING ONLY WITH BUY IT NOW AND ONLY TO THE 48 STATES. COST WILL BE $48.00 UNDER OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES AND NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.
