King 2B Silversonic 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
King 2B Silversonic Trombone Condition:
For sale by The H. N. White Company LLC this magnificent Trombone with its solid sterling silver bell section, is one of the greatest trombones made by The H. N. White Company.
This King 2B Silversonic Trombone has a solid sterling silver bell, today's horns do not have the bell made of solid sterling silver even though they call themselves Silversonic. This Trombone has been fully restored and no expense was spared to make it perfect again and this includes some new Eastlake made parts.
We did have to replace the slide receiver and one of the cork barrels so there is no serial numbers on either of those parts. The bell section does have the correct serial number on the tuning slide which matches the slide.
The body of the Trombone is in great shape and has no scratches.
There is no corrosion anywhere on the horn.
The slide operates smoothly and superfast. No deep scratches or small dings that we can see.
