King Trombonium Background:

This new instrument designed by The H. N. White Company to displace the valve trombone, is rapidly becoming increasingly popular in marching bands everywhere.  Pitched in the key of Bb and possessing the same range and tone quality as a trombone, it has the added advantage of compact construction and easier, faster execution due to the substitution of the valves for the slide.  These advantages have made this instrument a boon to conductors of school bands who have discovered the practical uses of the versatile instrument in their bands.  –White Way News Catalog #18, 1951.
