King Super 20 Trumpet Background:

Perhaps you are one of the thousands of discriminating trumpet players who have tried numerous makes but have never found the trumpet which suits your own individual style of playing.  If you want an instrument that will give you that "professional" tone, one that will enhance your musical interpretations, and above all, one that can do all this and more with a minimum of effort and a maximum of control, then you should try this sensational instrument.

The phrase "love at first sight" might well be applied to describe the initial reaction that is beautiful instrument arouses when first seen.  Its jewel-like finish, graceful lines, and neat, simple engraving combine to give it an irresistible eye-appeal.

The thrill you will feel upon first seeing this instrument will be surpassed only by the thrill you will experience when you first place it in your hands.  Its perfect balance affords the comfort and ease in handling you have always longed for but never before experienced in any other trumpet.  Just feel its glossy finish-manipulate the valves and test for yourself how quickly and smoothly they respond to your lightest touch.

In the course of the development of this instrument, we have sought and followed the advice of outstanding professional trumpet players in both the symphony and dance orchestra fields.  Their suggestions have resulted in the production of an instrument which surpasses all its competitors.  The prime requisite of professional trumpet players is a brilliant and powerful tone quality that is capable of playing the strongest fortissimo passages without "cracking…" 

The present trend of modern arrangers for the extreme high voicing of trumpet parts requires an instrument capable of playing such arrangements with ease and accuracy.  The improved intonation in the upper register of the King Super-20 Trumpet makes this another outstanding feature. 

The new, quick-action valves have contributed to render sure, rapid execution, enabling the player to perform highly technical passages with confidence and ease.

These characteristics-tone quality, intonation, distinction, grace and beauty-all molded into a modern ideal trumpet, make the King Super-20 Trumpet the answer to your search for the best.  --White Way Catalog #16, 1947
