King 2B Liberty Trombone Background:
The fact that Tommy Dorsey, the most celebrated trombonist
plays a King is evidence enough of the superb qualities possessed by this
instrument. His beautiful tone and
flowing style require an instrument that can translate the sentiment of this
“Sentimental Gentleman” into a language which is the envy and admiration of
musicians everywhere.
So popular has this model become that it would be
impractical for us to enumerate individually the hundreds of discrimination
artists now playing the King 2-B Trombone exclusively. Many outstanding “name” bands are now
featuring trombone sections composed entirely of Kings.
The crystal-silver slides of the King 2-B Trombone are
hand-ground to exacting dimensions. This
results in flint-like hardness and glassy smoothness which insure an easy
fast-action slide free from any trace of sluggishness in all positions.
