Marketing blurb

"those congested valves on your dual-valve bass trombone will never bother you again! Introducing the besson be943gs bass trombone with such an open sound (even through the valves), you might be mistaken for a euphonium! An ergonomic grip and trigger placement make this bass trombone easy to handle, no matter your hand size. Its beastly 10" rose brass bell and wide-open 0. 562" bore make for a fullness that just can't be beaten. "

Included

- trombone
- hard case
- alternate tuning slide for the f#/g valve
- protec c245x gigbag for bass trombone (details below)
- bach k341 mega tone trombone 1g mouthpiece (details below)

Pros

- bigger than the normal 9. 5 in / 241. 3 mm bell you get with most bass trombones
- slide is smooth and incredibly light weight
- has been recently serviced including a full chemical clean
- was completely dismantled including rotary valves and soaked in warm soapy bath
- there's no major dents
- no misalignment in slide
- triggers are incredibly smooth and free with no noise or clanking

Cons

- due to age there are areas throughout where the lacquer has worn off
- there are minor dings in some areas
- there's a small part of the stocks where the inner slide coating has worn away but you don't feel it to touch
- as with older trombones (including my old conn 88h) the slide needs to be re-greased/oiled quite frequently for a smooth action. For best results i recommend the slide o mix trombone lubricant set -> https://www . Thomann. De/ie/slide_o_mix_trombone_lubricant_set. Htm
- one of the locks on the hard case is broken.

Feel free to ask any questions or anything!
