King 3B Concert Trombone Background:
The H. N. White King 3B Concert model was designed to meet the special requirements of the professional dance, recording, and symphony artist.
The special large bore and 8-inch bell were adopted only after exhaustive tests convinced us that this combination of bore and bell would produce the full, rich-bodied tonal characteristics we were seeking.
The H. N. White Company’s reputation for making the very best professional trombones is well-known. The 3B’s has an easy upper range, perfect intonation, brilliant tonal qualities that you will not find in similar horns from the same era!
Simply put this is one of the best trombones ever made.
