Finding the Right Used Bass Trombone 🎵
Looking for a used bass trombone? You’ve come to the right place. At The Brass Exchange in St. Louis, Missouri, we specialize in vintage and pre-owned bass trombones from top makers including Conn, Bach, King, S.E. Shires, Greenhoe, Edwards, Yamaha, and Getzen. Because bass trombones are produced in smaller numbers than tenors, they can be harder to find on the used market. That’s why we keep a rotating selection of high-quality pre-owned instruments available.

Professional bass trombones—especially pre-owned models—are not always easy to find. Inventory rotates frequently, and the best instruments tend to move quickly. For players searching for a reliable used bass trombone, timing and source matter.
Why Buy a Used Bass Trombone from The Brass Exchange?
Every instrument that arrives here goes through full shop service and chemical bath cleaning before it is listed. We take care of any repairs or adjustments so that your trombone is ready to play on arrival — no extra trips to the repair shop required. This is especially important in summer when schools and bands flood repair shops with instruments, often creating long wait times.
Slide service: Straight tubes, proper alignment, and polished action.
Valve service: Rotary or axial flow valves checked and optimized.
Cosmetic honesty: We note lacquer wear, scratches, or repairs so you know exactly what you’re getting.
For serious players, this means confidence that your next horn is gig-ready. For students upgrading to their first bass trombone, it means getting a reliable horn without unexpected expenses.
New & Pre-Owned Options
The Brass Exchange is an authorized dealer for S.E. Shires and Greenhoe trombones. In addition to our pre-owned inventory, we can source new custom instruments directly from the factory. We also carry a selection of accessories including Marco Magi cases, mutes, and trombone stands.
