essexbasscat Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Hi all Up for grabs is a Silver Yamaha Trombone. It's been used and comes in a hard case. It's hardly been used since buying it from Benbastin on this forum around a year ago. It has a few dings for it's age. Ben described it as a very good 'beater' instrument to use out and about. But don't let that fool you about the qualtity of the instrument, as Yamaha have a reputation for making instruments that play very well and this one's no exception. I'm only looking for what I paid for it which is £80.00 collected. I'm willing to post if the buyer pays carriadge. Thanks for looking folks T Edited March 25, 2012 by essexbasscat
overwater#1 Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 I've owned a couple of Yamaha instruments, and imho, they make the very best student level horns around! Build quality always fantastic, nice hooters!

That's the reason why I grabbed it when it came up ! However, a new project calls, so something's got to give. Move on up ! Edited September 8, 2011 by essexbasscat
essexbasscat Posted September 22, 2011 Author Posted September 22, 2011 It's a lovely trombone, shame it's not being played
charic Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Have just texted a music teacher friend of mine. Will let you know if he has any interest in it Edited October 5, 2011 by charic
essexbasscat Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 Believe it or not, this is still up for sale !
essexbasscat Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 A good instrument still looking for a new home
Alec 'Aleb' Mills Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) You don't happen to have any photo's of it, do you? And the condition of the slide? Cheers. Edited March 24, 2012 by Alec 'Aleb' Mills
essexbasscat Posted March 24, 2012 Author Posted March 24, 2012 I'll get onto it and include pictures of the slide. Will probably be done on Sunday. Cheers T

As the slide also moves very easily, I'd say the tubes are pretty parallel and it's a good functioning instrument. Edited March 28, 2012 by essexbasscat
essexbasscat Posted March 25, 2012 Author Posted March 25, 2012 Will come back with that tomorrow night, it's back on top of the wardrobe at the moment
essexbasscat Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 Right. Captain disorganised here. I screamed through the day yesterday almost without stopping from getting out of bed until I fell back into it. So I've finally got back to this ! I've checked the numbers and it's a model YSL 64T, instrument no 03615. The photos don't show it well, but the finish is patchy and tarnished over quite a bit. There's a dent in the bell (which I've hopefully captured in the picture and a dent in the last bend The finish isn't pitted however. I've added this as I want to be as honest with this ad as I can. As I said, I'm only asking what I paid for it. Given it functions well, I have no doubt it's worth it.
essexbasscat Posted April 2, 2012 Author Posted April 2, 2012 [quote name='tbonepete' timestamp='1333352393' post='1600253'] That will be 641 then. Cheers Pete [/quote] Thanks Pete, the numbers aren't the clearest, so you're probably right. The 4's definately a 4
essexbasscat Posted April 12, 2012 Author Posted April 12, 2012 Pete knows what he's talking about. Still here !
Netballman Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 I must be mad... but I'll give it a go Never played one but dabbling with a sax has given me the urge to parp! I'll pm you and we'll sort out transit. Andy
essexbasscat Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 They're good fun Andy, you'll be playing ska in no time !
