King Silver Lined Clarinet!

 

The ultimate in Silver Clarinets.  Something entirely new in Clarinets that will amaze you and bring joy and greater satisfaction to Clarinet players and band masters.

 

An entirely new construction in Clarinets-a clarinet lined with 99% pure silver which produces a Better, Bigger Tone, Plays Easier, and is finer in Tone than any other Clarinet made.

 

It is an accepted fact that Flutes made of silver are better than Flutes made of wood.  This is not equally true of the new King Silver Lined Clarinet and can easily be proven by making a comparison of the new King Silver Lined Clarinet with any other Clarinet.  The silver lining produces more tone, plays much easier, has finer quality of tone and besides being able to play greater fortissimo in both upper and lower registers.  You can diminish a tone right down to a feather edge hardly audible, without breaking.  This may sound hardly possible to those who have not tried the latest King Silver Lined Clarinet…

 

To Band Directors: We guarantee you can greatly improve your Clarinet section, get better results, more and better tone, finer intonation and finer appearance with King Clarinets.  --White Way News Catalog #12, 1940.

Silver King Clarinet Condition:

For sale by The H. N. White Company LLC, this magnificent Silver King Clarinet is in great condition given the fact that it is nearly 76 years old.  The H. N. White Company was the only company allowed to manufacture musical instruments during WWII and this is one of those instruments.  Sterling Silver was extremely limited at this time so the bell is not Sterling Silver but according to the catalogs the interior is silver lined.  H. N. White made King Clarinets are among the finest metal clarinets ever made.  We have had some fun with this clarinet and changed the body finish to baked on white lacquer and the results are impressive.  The new white lacquer looks amazing and the silver keys look striking next to the black body. The Silver King clarinet is the choice of professionals who value design and quality construction that only The H. N. White Company could provide. The post WWII clarinets are our favorite and play great and still have the quality that the company was known for.

This Silver King Clarinet was just professionally cleaned and re-padded and the cork was replaced.  The clarinet has been newly articulated by our professional technician but may require some adjustments to match your playing preference and style. We have done everything to make this Clarinet “ready to play”.

·         All parts are original and in good condition.

·         The baked on white lacquer is new and 99% perfect.
