King Legend 2BL Tenor Trombone Overview
The King Legend 2BL is a professional small-bore Bb tenor trombone developed around the playing concept associated with Jiggs Whigham and King's longstanding 2B family. Its direct, agile design is particularly at home in jazz, commercial, and other settings where clear articulation and an immediate tonal core are priorities. This instrument has the straight-tenor configuration and engraved Legend identity associated with the model.

Condition & Setup
This lightly used trombone is in excellent playing order and has been professionally serviced, set up, and play-tested.

Faint linear marks are also present on the bell throat and adjacent tubing.
Who the Legend 2BL Tenor Trombone Is For
The 2BL is suited to professional players, advanced students, and serious jazz or commercial trombonists who prefer a small-bore instrument with quick response, precise articulation, and a compact, focused sound. Its .491-inch bore and lightweight slide distinguish it from broader symphonic tenor designs, making it a purposeful choice for big band lead work, studio playing, solo performance, and chamber settings where clarity and flexibility are priorities.
Common Questions About the King Legend 2BL
How does the King 2BL differ from the standard King 2B?
The 2BL uses a single .491-inch bore and a lightweight slide. The standard 2B uses a .481/.491-inch dual-bore slide, giving the two models related but distinct response characteristics.
Does the King 2BL have an F attachment?
No. The 2BL is a straight Bb tenor trombone without a valve attachment, favoring low weight, simplicity, and an immediate response.
How do the lightweight slide and compact bell affect the playing concept?
The lightweight slide supports quick position changes and articulate attacks, while the 7-3/8-inch yellow brass bell contributes to the focused tonal profile expected from a professional small-bore tenor trombone.
