    Description

    This trombone was made right before the famous 2B was added to the engraving. The instrument matches what would later become the King 2B. Its dual-bore dimensions are upper (.481) and lower (.491). The solid sterling silver bell is 7.375 inches in diameter.
    I purchased the Trombone from the H.N. White Company in 2020 and have played it approximately 30 times. It plays beautifully with fast action. There are no dents and the engraving is crisp and clear. Just need to downsize my collection or else I'd keep it.
    H.N. White Company restored the instrument before I purchased it. Here is the work they did:
    1. Left the original finish. Added clear baked on lacquer. The Sterling Silver bell does not have any lacquer on it.
    2. New gold wash in the bell.
    3. Left the original inner tubes; made new outer tubes.
    5. New gold on the "King" in the engraving
    Comes with a Bach 7 mouthpiece and MTS Products case.
    Note: the horn is not a serial number matching horn. The bell section is #177337 and was made in 1935. The slide is #180332.
