King 2B Liberty Trombone Background:
King Liberty Model No. 2-B Trombone has crystal silver outside tube and sleeve.
Tube is drawn all of one piece of metal with rim at top of slide rolled on.
There are no soldered joints in this section of the slide.
Inside slide is made of crystal silver-surface hardened, with piston drawn on one piece with new perfected bore, improving the open tones in the closed position of slide.
End bow is expanded to fit outside slide thus eliminating connecting ferrules and reducing the weight at end of slide, making only two soldered joints in place of four.
This new construction has eight less soft soldered joints… It looks neater and is a beautiful piece of workmanship.
The crystal silver in the outside slide is harder than brass, slips easier, looks better and will stay bright-will not dent or get sprung or
out of alignment as easily as brass and usual methods of making slides.
The bore is very special-producing a finer tone and better intonation which is especially noticeable on tones in the closed position.
The response is instantaneous and it plays so much easier.
The slide is so distinctive, it will immediately appeal to trombone players in both appearance and playing qualities.
It is the first slide made with closed position tones so true and clear that it is a revelation to trombonists when they first try it.
You will marvel at the wonderful tone and improved intonation, in fact, it is the only trombone made in tune in the high register (High D and F especially 1
st
position and a fine Bb).
It is the tightest fitting, smoothest working slide ever known.
The King Liberty Model No. 2-B Trombone with new crystal silver slides, improved bore, single one-piece drawn on sleeve and piston plays better, is more durable, beautiful in appearance and is the last word in a perfect slide.
