    Good Points: Great solo trombone, the 3b is a classic.


    Bad Points: No trigger attachment limits the bottom end for symphony work, so it is best for first trombone.


    General comments: The King 3B is a classic jazz trombone, and great for solo tenor symphony work. The tone is unique, with power and lyric beauty of tone.

    My Silver King 3B with F attachment is great and sounds great through high notes and low notes on the slide. The slide is old and was used by many before me and is still smooth. Hitting a low F or below sucks on this horn. Overall, if you're ever are looking for a new horn get this one!

    you can't go wrong with a King 3B for a horn that allows you to play jazz, or serious solo literature. Only wish I had purchased the silversonic back in 1965 when I purchased this horn (last year crafted by H.N. White). The horn has a super slide action that has held up for 43 years...1965 3B nickel silver slide is still smooth with very little sign of inner slide wear, and can still produce a warm resonate tone in middle register and sing in the upper register with little resistance.

    Mine is a late 60's instrument, but as far as I know, they have always been very similar.
    Mine plays superb, and is a definite step up from a regular brass bell instrument. Such a warm, beautiful pleasing tone. When pushed, it sounds so sweeet, and it really projects!!
    If you get one, you really cannot go wrong, and as the are so rare, especially the older ones, they will retain their value!

    Highly recommended!

    As a professional trombone player, I have relied on my King 3B SilverSonic (sterling silver bell) for all my gigs. It has exceptional response, projection, and control. My other trombone is for orchestra (.547 bore) and I mention this because the transition between the two is easy. I have tried smaller bores than the 3B (.508) but have found the transition and sound quality to suffer. The King 3B is a versatile and effective instrument when your job counts on it.
