King 2B Made in the mid 1970's. SN 509839 Single owner horn closet kept for over 40 years. Is the classic 2B - 2 Bore- dual Bore model. In fact, 2B means 2- bore. Here is why: The top inner tube is less in inner diameter than the bottom inner tube. The bell is small. This model delivers a lot of energy out front with lot of warmth and center, but will also sizzle and cut above lover voices, as you would expect in a lead horn. Is all original parts and lacquer. Has had full shop service with chemical bath, slide adjust, no dents or dings. Hand slide is excellent, super straight, no defects on inner slide tubes, never damaged or repaired. The slide plays perfectly as is. Would be an ideal lead or solo horn for big band, trad jazz, dance band, commercial style playing. There is a reason why Tommy Dorsey and so many other famous players over the years played this model. Once you start playing it, you know why.
