Here is your finalized Reverb listing:

King Cleveland 605 Tenor Trombone - USA Made - with GARD Gig BagProduct Description

Up for sale is a classic King Cleveland 605 Tenor Trombone. Known as the "American Student Classic," these instruments were built in the USA with a level of durability and tonal quality that rivals many modern intermediate horns. This is an ideal instrument for a beginning student, a hobbyist looking for a reliable "comeback" horn, or a jazz player wanting a responsive small-bore tenor.

This specific unit (Serial #612712) dates to the mid-1970s. It features a yellow brass bell for a warm, centered tone and high-grade chrome-plated nickel silver inner slides.

Condition & Playability

This instrument is in Good Condition and is fully functional.

• The Slide: The slide is in great shape and moves smoothly through all seven positions. The chrome plating on the inner tubes is clean, and the action is fast and responsive.
• Mechanics: The water key (spit valve) seals perfectly, and the slide lock/bell mounting threads are in excellent condition.
• Cosmetics: As shown in the photos, there is some honest lacquer wear and surface pitting consistent with a vintage instrument. This is strictly cosmetic and has no impact on the excellent sound or playability of the horn.

Premium Accessory Upgrade

This listing includes a major upgrade: a GARD Bags Gig Bag.

• Protection: Features GARD's patented mid-bag suspension system to protect the bell from impacts.
• Portability: Made of durable synthetic fabric with leather trim, reinforced handles, and a comfortable shoulder strap. It is much lighter and easier to carry than the original 1970s hard cases.
