King 2B Liberty Trombone Background:

King Liberty Model No. 2B Trombone has crystal silver outside tube and sleeve.

Inside slide is made of crystal silver surface hardened, with piston drawn on one slide with new perfected bore, improving the open tones in the closed position of slide.

End bow is expanded to fit outside slide thus elimination connecting ferrules and reducing the weight and 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 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 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 tone so true and clear that 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 tone in the high resister (High D and F especially 1st position and a fine Bb).  It is the tightest fitting, smoothest working slide ever known.  --White Way News Catalog #12, 1940.
