Meanwhile, I'm out taking my trombone to the repair shop and the guy says "so, you want to see something an old lady brought into the shop from the depths of her closet last week?"
And there it was.... a *MINT* 1970s King 3B with original packing materials and owners manual. Looks never played. The holy grail of jazz trombones. It's now mine. Naturally.

Did a bit of playing around on this today. DANG is it nice! I can't believe it's 50 years old without a scratch on it. The serial number and printed materials in the case indicate it was made sometime in 1976.

@dabeaz Nicely done. Feels like a sign going back to school is rewarded in all things except your wallet. Today at least.
