1980s Benge 175 Tenor Trombone w/ F-Attachment 

For sale is a pre-owned, professional Benge 175 Tenor Trombone with F-attachment, serial number 159532. Dating from the early 1980s, this medium bore instrument is known for its clarity, quick response, and focused tone. Best of all, the slide is in excellent shape with absolutely no damage, guaranteeing fluid, reliable performance.

This model is ideal for intermediate to advanced players seeking a medium bore horn with an F-attachment for versatile use—perfect for pops, wind ensemble, commercial work, and solo repertoire. It offers a lighter feel and faster response than a full large bore horn.

The Benge 175: Precision and Focus

The Benge 175 is the medium bore model, often favored by players who appreciate a more centered, compact feel compared to some other American brands.

What makes this horn a professional standby:

  • Flawless Slide Action: The slide is in excellent shape with absolutely no damage. This is the single most important factor for a used trombone and ensures maximum speed and reliability.

  • Responsive Rotor: Features a reliable rotor valve on an "Open wrap ish" design. Note: the tubing on the furthest back part has a slightly tighter curve than some other horns, which contributes to a unique, centered feel and handling comfort.

  • Medium Bore (.525"): Sits comfortably between a jazz-focused small bore and a symphonic large bore, giving it a clear, warm, and centered tone without the heft of a .547" instrument.

  • Playing Condition: Despite minor cosmetic wear, the horn plays very well and has been well cared for (currently adult kept, though previously school owned).
