King Silversonic Master Cornet Background:

Look.  And listen.  The round, lyrical sound of this King Master Model reveals its true beauty.  The tones are pure and clear…from a velvet softness to a bell-like brilliance.  The traditional cornet lines, with gently sweeping mouthpipe, insure the rich sound.  Intonation is flawless.  Valves are lightning-swift.  Combine this beauty and tone quality with truly rugged construction, and you have an instrument worthy of the name King.  You play relaxed, and know this King Cornet will deliver all that you ask.

Solid Sterling Silver Bell responds instantly, gives precise control, projects farther.  The sound is richer, slightly “darker” with more overtones and the tone will not crack-ever!--White Way Catalog #21A, 1963
