Designed to fill the need for a solid bass voice in the trombone choir. Note these features: 1).Large solid Sterling Silver 9" bell responds instantly, gives precise control, projects farther. The sound is richer, "darker" with more overtones and the tone will not crack-ever. 2). Slide pull to E adds entire extended range, including low B·F tuning attachment, separate from E pull, tunes F to Bb section. 3). Linkage on the F rotor is made of teflon, insures smoother action, eliminates noise. 4). Cushion spring in the first position permits shortening of normal slide position. --1965 King Catalog.
