The 3B family has long been respected among commercial, jazz, show, and section players for its direct response and focused sound, while the 3BPL adds a broader .525-inch bore profile for players who want more breadth without moving into a full large-bore symphonic setup. This instrument is a Never Owned lacquer-finish King 3BPL with a fitted hard case and serial number 603261.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKing 3BPL Tenor Trombone Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrument Type: Professional tenor trombone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey: Bb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBore Size: .525 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell Diameter: 8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell Material: Yellow brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Lightweight molded hard case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessories: Slide cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial Number: 603261\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Setup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Never Owned trombone is in excellent playing order and has been professionally inspected, set up, and play-tested by The Mighty Quinn Brass and Winds.

It is especially appropriate for commercial work, jazz ensemble playing, pit orchestra work, and players who prefer a medium-large bore instrument that speaks easily and keeps a centered, articulate sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Questions About the King 3BPL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the 3BPL differ from the standard King 3B?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3BPL uses a .525-inch bore rather than the standard 3B .508-inch bore. That gives the 3BPL a broader response and more carrying capacity while preserving the compact feel many players associate with King tenor trombones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat kind of player typically chooses a King 3BPL?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3BPL often appeals to players who want a professional straight tenor trombone for commercial, jazz, theater, and ensemble work, especially when a small-bore horn feels too compact but a large-bore orchestral tenor feels too broad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 3BPL a small-shank trombone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The included shop tag identifies the shank size as small, which is consistent with the 3BPL model configuration and its role as a responsive professional tenor trombone.\u003c\/p\u003e             \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.quinntheeskimo.net\/Pics\/Kinglogo\/Kinglogo0.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.quinntheeskimo.net\/Pics\/Kinglogo\/KinglogoThumb0.jpg\" align=\"Middle\" alt=\"King Logo\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e             \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe are proud to be an authorized King dealer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Conn Selmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53572759748973,"sku":"3BPL-CR603261","price":2499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/3461\/files\/7118682.jpg?v=1784318757","url":"https:\/\/www.brassandwinds.com\/products\/king-3bpl-legend-professional-bb-tenor-trombone-in-lacquer-sn-603261","provider":"The Mighty Quinn Brass and Winds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
