Edwards T-350E Tenor Trombone – Satin Lacquer, Thayer Valve

Overview

This Edwards T-350E is a single-owner professional large-bore tenor trombone in excellent used condition. It features a #324CF bell, original Thayer axial-flow valve, gold brass tuning slide, and TB-CN .547-inch handslide with a bass-style end crook.

The complete instrument has a distinctive satin lacquer finish and no history of damage or repair. It was carefully maintained by its original owner and remained both mechanically and cosmetically excellent when offered.

Bell and Thayer Valve Section

The Edwards #324CF bell provides a broad, colorful sound with the flexibility expected from a professional modular Edwards trombone. The satin lacquer finish gives the instrument a subtle appearance that is less reflective than traditional polished lacquer.

The original Thayer axial-flow valve offers an open, direct response through the F attachment. This valve design was an important part of the T-350E concept and helped make the model a preferred professional orchestral trombone for many players.

A gold brass tuning slide adds warmth and tonal complexity while creating an attractive visual contrast within the satin-finished bell section.

TB-CN Handslide

The Edwards TB-CN handslide has a conventional .547-inch large bore combined with a bass-style end crook. This configuration gives the slide additional breadth and stability while preserving the response and articulation of a large-bore tenor.

The handslide was scheduled to receive a complete professional setup before delivery. Alignment, tube condition, and general slide action were inspected and adjusted to ensure the best possible performance.

Three removable leadpipes were included, allowing the player to experiment with resistance, response, and articulation while keeping the rest of the instrument unchanged.

Condition and Service

This was a single-owner instrument in excellent overall condition. It had no history of damage or repair, and the bell, valve section, tuning slide, and handslide had been carefully maintained.

The instrument played beautifully and required no restorative work. The handslide setup performed before delivery ensured that it was ready for immediate professional use.
