This is a pre-owned Edwards T302 small bore jazz trombone, custom-configured for maximum flexibility and fast response. It features a 7.75" yellow brass bell, model 9177CF, paired with a matching yellow brass tuning slide and a lightweight yellow brass .500 bore handslide with yellow brass end crook. This setup gives the instrument a vibrant, crisp sound with excellent articulation and tonal presence—ideal for commercial, big band, or combo work.
The T302 is known as Edwards’ answer to the classic small bore jazz horn, offering modular compatibility with modern materials. This one includes two removable leadpipes, one of which is a Butler carbon fiber .500 bore pipe—a highly desirable upgrade for players seeking lightning-fast response and weight reduction without sacrificing tone quality.
While the instrument is inherently lightweight and balanced, players who prefer more mass can add a counterweight from Edwards’ online store for around $80. Most players, however, will find this configuration comfortable as-is.
This trombone has received full professional shop service, including a chemical cleaning, inspection, and full play test. There are no dents, dings, or repairs. The slide is in excellent shape and functions as expected for a professional-level instrument.
Includes a new Gator case, making this setup ready to gig, record, or tour with right out of the box. An ideal choice for jazz soloists, commercial trombonists, or serious students upgrading into the custom instrument world.
This Edwards T302 jazz trombone is now archived as a reference for players comparing lightweight custom setups in the .500 bore category.
