King 3B Trombone, Silver Bell, Silver Plate with Gold Plate Trim

Full Description

Classic Jazz Design

Hand made in the USA, the King 3B is noted as the typical jazz trombone. The higher register is easier than ever to perform with an accurate and brilliant sound due to the small .508'' bore. Similar to other professional jazz trombones, the 8'' bell found on the King 3B provides a clear and versatile tone. Unlike other trombones, the 3B features a sterling silver bell for enhanced brilliance and brightness which is ideal for soloists. The trombone is finished with a beautiful silver plate with gold trim for a truly luxurious look. The 3B looks more professional than ever due to the newly designed engraving on the bell and the vintage three-piece balancer.

Professional Slide

Even back in the creation of King instruments in 1894, the instrument was hailed for its smooth and light slide action. From that point on, new skills and technology have only made king trombones better. The chrome plated nickel silver tubing makes for a lightweight slide, offering the player huge technical versatility on quicker passages of music.

Included Accessories

As well the trombone, the 3B includes a luxury black hard case designed for the King trombone to fit in securely. This makes transporting the instrument to concerts and rehearsals very easy. Also included is a King mouthpiece which is manufactured to the specifications of the trombone. It plays freely and easily in the higher register and produces a beautiful and rich tone.

About King

Today, King use their musical heritage to continue to set high standards for modern day trombones, combining both traditional techniques and modern-day processes into every instrument.

Reviews

"“My new King 3B is the best horn I have ever played. No other trombone can match the tone, clarity of articulation and flexibility the 3B possesses. It is truly a joy to play."Nick Vayenas - Trombonist with the Michael Buble band.

“The King 3B is still the King of trombones, because it conquers any musical setting with a rich tone, clear articulation, and massive projection. My King 3B has the smoothest slide in the business.
