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 is would be impractical for us to enumerate individually the hundreds of discriminating artists now playing the King 2B Trombone exclusively. Many outstanding "name" bands are not featuring trombone sections composed entirely of Kings. --White Way News Number 14, 1946
