King Silver Tone Symphony Trombone Background:
This instrument, an essential member of every symphony trombone section, has become increasingly popular in dance bands during the last decade.
Outstanding dance orchestras throughout the country are rapidly adding symphony trombones to strengthen their brass sections and increase the variety of tonal shadings required by modern arrangers.
It is also finding more and more use in school concert bands and orchestras where many conductors, aware of the advantages of this instrument, insist on having the lower trombone parts played on large bore symphony models.
The King Symphony Model Trombone has long been a favorite of outstanding artists and dance trombonists.
Its special large bore design and 9” bell result in a sturdy masculine tone quality that is a prime requisite for large musical organizations.
In spite of the larger proportions of this instrument, its lightning response and quick, free-action slide are features that could formerly be expected only on smaller, lighter model instruments.
The upper register too, possesses a clarity and evenness of tone that is unusual for a large bore instrument of this type.
