Widely used in jazz, commercial, pit, and solo settings, the 3B balances agility with enough breadth for section playing. This particular instrument carries King and The H.N. White Co. Cleveland markings from an earlier period of King production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKing 3B Concert Tenor Trombone Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrument Type: Tenor trombone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey: Bb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBore Size: .508 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell Diameter: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell Material: Yellow brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter Slide Material: Nickel silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Black fitted soft case with backpack-style carrying straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial Number: 356650\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Setup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage King 3B Concert is in excellent playing order and has been professionally serviced, set up, and play-tested by The Mighty Quinn Brass and Winds.

Its compact playing concept works especially well for jazz ensembles, commercial sections, lead playing, pit orchestra, and solo work. Players who prefer the broader resistance and tonal scale of a large-bore orchestral trombone may favor a different design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Questions About the King 3B Concert\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the King 3B differ from the King 2B?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3B uses a .508-inch bore and 8-inch bell, giving it a broader tonal footprint than the 2B, which uses a smaller dual bore and 7-3\/8-inch bell. Both retain the responsive, projecting character associated with classic King tenor trombones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat playing characteristics are associated with the .508-inch bore?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA .508-inch bore supports quick response, articulate attacks, and a focused sound that can project efficiently. It offers more breadth than many smaller jazz trombones while remaining more compact than a large-bore symphonic tenor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do the H.N. White Co.
