King 2B Liberty Trombone Background:

The fames 2B has been a favorite with "name" trombonists throughout the world.  You will marvel at its response, beauty of tone, and a slide that's flawless in every position. --White Way Catalog #20, 1958

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 it would be impractical for us to enumerate individually the hundreds of discrimination artists now playing the King 2-B Trombone exclusively.  Many outstanding “name” bands are now featuring trombone sections composed entirely of Kings.

The crystal-silver slides of the King 2-B Trombone are hand-ground to exacting dimensions.  This results in flint-like hardness and glassy smoothness which insure an easy fast-action slide free from any trace of sluggishness in all positions.

--White Way Catalog #18, 1951
