Edwards Tenor Trombone – Excellent Player – Fantastic Slide – Cosmetic Lacquer Wear
I’m selling this Edwards tenor trombone that I purchased in August 2025 as a temporary horn while waiting for a custom Edwards build. It’s been a great instrument — very responsive, easy to play, and it projects clearly with minimal effort. This would make an excellent orchestral or all-around tenor for the right player.
The slide is outstanding — truly a classy 11. I’m very picky about slides, and this one was smooth and responsive right when I bought it. It remains fast, consistent, and dependable across all positions.
The horn plays very easily and speaks quickly. It “cuts” well without needing a lot of effort. Ultimately, I moved to a larger setup that I could push harder, but this is a very comfortable, efficient horn that rewards a relaxed approach.
Condition notes (fully transparent):
- There is lacquer wear on the bell and tuning slide. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect playability at all.
- The Thayer valve works better than when I bought it
- The valve screw is not the original factory screw. It functions perfectly, but if you prefer everything factory-original, you may want to replace it.
Otherwise, the horn is in excellent playing condition and has been well cared for.
This is a great Edwards tenor with:
- Excellent slide (seriously, a great one)
- Easy response
- Clear projection
- Comfortable blow
- Reliable Thayer valve
Only selling because my custom Edwards arrived.
Feel free to message with questions — happy to provide additional photos or details. Comes with a Protec Max case as pictured.
