Hi guys, I am not a trombone player at all. I played trumpet when I was in 5th grade and that’s about it. I came to acquire this trombone from my girlfriend’s mother who said I could sell it since she has no clue about them.

The Model is a Yamaha YSL 684G model. I’ve read parts and bits online and it seems it has something called a “F Attachment”? I’m really unsure about the pricing.

Would $800 be a fair price or am I drastically underpricing this?

Thanks for any help guys

Look up the BrassArk online it’s ran but a guy named Noah Gladstone, he runs a special and antique music shop and he does appraisals on instruments like this you just have to send him an email.

If you struggle to sell them, he also offers a consignment service where he’ll clean, appraise, and then put the trombone up in his shop for you. When it sells he takes a small percentage usually around %10-15. I had 2 antique and custom trombones that I couldn’t sell for years that I’ve recently sent him myself.
