King Silver Lined Clarinet!

The ultimate in Silver Clarinets.  Something entirely new in Clarinets that will amaze you and bring joy and greater satisfaction to Clarinet players and band masters.

An entirely new construction in Clarinets-a clarinet lined with 99% pure silver which produces a Better, Bigger Tone, Plays Easier, and is finer in Tone than any other Clarinet made.

It is an accepted fact that Flutes made of silver are better than Flutes made of wood.  This is not equally true of the new King Silver Lined Clarinet and can easily be proven by making a comparison of the new King Silver Lined Clarinet with any other Clarinet.  The silver lining produces more tone, plays much easier, has finer quality of tone and besides being able to play greater fortissimo in both upper and lower registers.  You can diminish a tone right down to a feather edge hardly audible, without breaking.  This may sound hardly possible to those who have not tried the latest King Silver Lined Clarinet…

To Band Directors: We guarantee you can greatly improve your Clarinet section, get better results, more and better tone, finer intonation and finer appearance with King Clarinets.  --White Way News Catalog #12, 1940.
