I am a tuba player, but wish to learn to play trombone, and have an opportunity to buy, for $800, a King 3B trombone.  It has the word "concert" inscribed on its bell.  Its serial # is 518726.  The F trigger rotor casing has "12" stamped on it.  The slide's serial # is 4144.  It is in perfect condition, and I will have a trombone-playing friend take it for a test drive.
If you are trombone savvy, and are familiar with this instrument, please tell me what you know.  Good horn?  Does $800 sound right?  Thanks in advance.
