Conn-Selmer Prelude TB711F Tenor Trombone with F-Attachment – Archive Reference
Overview
This Conn-Selmer Prelude TB711F tenor trombone with F-attachment has now been sold and is preserved here as part of The Brass Exchange Archive of Sold instruments. The TB711F is a large-bore (.547) step-up tenor trombone designed for advancing students ready to move beyond small-bore beginner horns into literature that requires an F-attachment.
While not intended as a professional orchestral instrument like a Bach 42B, the TB711F shares many of the same functional design characteristics — .547 bore, 8.5" bell, and traditional rotor valve — at a more accessible price point. Clean examples of this model became harder to find after production slowed around 2025, making well-maintained instruments especially attractive for families and teachers searching for a reliable upgrade.
This particular trombone was purchased from its original owner, inspected in-house, lightly serviced, and play-tested before sale. Only minor work was required, including a new water-key pad and small slide adjustment. The slide was smooth and responsive, the valve operated correctly, and overall playability was excellent for this category.
The TB711F represents a practical first step into large-bore tenor playing, offering stability of sound, familiar ergonomics, and dependable performance for lessons, ensembles, and daily practice. Instruments like this are often chosen by teachers seeking a dependable step-up option that avoids the risks of unknown marketplace purchases.
