NEW CONN 88HO trombone, READY TO SHIP!
It's a new and perfect instrument, not a demo.  Conn 5G mouthpiece, case, and factory warranty are included PLUS our two-year service warranty.
The Conn 88H was introduced in the early 1950's and quickly became one of the most popular large bore tenor trombones with F-attachment, endorsed by professional players worldwide.  It's still in production today, the benchmark by which other trombones are judged.
Specifications:  .547" primary bore with .562" bore open wrap F section, 8-1/2" rose brass bell, rose brass outer slide, clear lacquer.
The original Conn 88H trombones had traditional wrap F-attachment.  This one is the "modern" version with open-wrap F-attachment and thin red brass bell (like the originals) for easier response in all registers.
With Conn 5G mouthpiece and deluxe Conn hard case.
Retail price for a new Conn 88HTO trombone is now 65.
It's a popular trombone that it sometimes back-ordered at the factory.  This one's in stock in Wichita and ready to ship TODAY!

*** BEFORE WE SEND ANYTHING TO YOU….
The instrument is carefully inspected by us to make certain it’s spotlessly clean. We disinfect the exterior of the instrument, spray the exterior of the case as well. We do not send anything to you without it’s being checked and then checked again.
*** A FEW WORDS ABOUT OUR SENDING “ON APPROVAL”…
We’ve had the same policy for half a century, are always happy to send almost anything for a short trial period. Five days is, we believe, sufficient for a trained musician to decide if the item sent them is a good match.
A small percentage of instrument we send out are returned to us. Sometimes it’s a money issue, more often it’s “…you might consider taking lessons”. But as we always say, “If you don’t buy, we’ll still be friends.
We’ve had recent questions, though, about how we clean up returned approvals. You should know…
With BRASS instruments, we take everything apart, then give the instrument a quick bath. Soap and water, but not long enough to harm the finish. Everything is lightly sprayed with a disinfectant, Then, back in the case after a spray to the exterior and carrying handles of the case.
Not sure what the other shops are doing about this issue (I’ve asked, have had no replies), but we think our clean-up work is exactly what’s required to keep everybody safe.***

Wichita Band Instrument Company is a small musical instrument emporium located in the center of the USA. We've been in business since 1953 and have had the same owner since 1963. Originally we were a repair shop that specialized in woodwind and sax restoration. Today we have 18 employees including seven of the finest repair technicians in the country.
Virtually ALL the items we sell have been fully reconditioned in our own shop, although we do sell the occasional unrestored historical instruments each year.
Wichita Band's service warranty is the same as it's been for more than thirty years: ALL new and all used instruments sold by Wichita Band Instrument Company come with our 24 month service warranty. It's in addition to any factory guarantees. For two full years, we will repair or replace - whichever in our estimation is the more advisable - pads, corks, springs or other parts required, at no charge to the customer. In the event of cracked or damaged wood sections, we will repair at no cost to the customer or replace the section and charge the customer only for our net costs for the replacement section. Often, wood replacement parts are supplied from the manufacturer at no charge. The customer is responsible for shipping and insurance charges. Cases and plating finishes are not covered by our service warranty but are sometimes covered by factory guarantees. Wichita Band's service warranty does cover dents and dings to your instrument. If your instrument sustains damage to the body, end bow, neck or bell, we'll burnish out the dents and make it look like new again. The cost you is absolutely nothing except shipping and insurance charges.
Wichita Band Instrument Company maintains a repair department capable of restoration work of the highest quality. Even though repairs are essentially free for the first two years, after that period has expired, we remain at your service to maintain and repair your musical equipment forever. It's our 'service after the sale' promise and has been since 1953! In the event that a customer requires service under factory guarantees or Wichita Band's service warranty, the item must be returned to us and not directly to the manufacturer.
Anything we sell can be sent to you for a short approval period without obligation.  The customer is responsible for shipping and insurance and must pre-pay back to us any freight charges on returned equipment. International shipping is available. Returned items will be refunded within 2 weeks of receiving the item. We're happy to send any instrument 'on approval' for five days, but ask the prospective buyer to pay shipping both ways and to please reimburse us for Ebay, clean-up and restocking charges (2.95% on credit card transactions/no fees on PayPal transactions) on any returned instrument.
Ebay authorized payment methods: PayPal or credit/debit card processed through our internet merchant account. Buyers outside of the USA are responsible for all import duties and customs clearance charges in their respective countries. We may refuse paypal and/or credit card payments from some countries. We're happy to correspond with musicians, players, parents and enthusiasts of all types. Written appraisals are always available, but please don't write or telephone and ask what's granny's mellophone worth? Do an Ebay search and you'll be able to figure it out for yourself.
