King 5B Symphony Bass Silversonic Trombone Background:
Designed to fill the need for a solid bass voice in the
trombone choir. Note these features:
1).Large solid Sterling Silver 9" bell responds instantly, gives precise
control, projects farther. The sound is
richer, "darker" with more overtones and the tone will not
crack-ever. 2). Slide pull to E adds entire extended range, including low B·F
tuning attachment, separate from E pull, tunes F to Bb section. 3). Linkage on
the F rotor is made of teflon, insures smoother action, eliminates noise. 4).
Cushion spring in the first position permits shortening of normal slide
position. --1965 King Catalog.
