King 3B Silversonic from late 1950's. This is the earliest 3B Silversonic that we seen since the beginning of The Brass Exhchange. This horn has stayed in one family, passed from Father to Son. All of the parts and lacquer are original to the instrument. When good players take care of their horns they generally play good. When great players take care of them, they usually play great. This one comes from a great player, and the horn plays fantastic. Is about the best sounding and playing 3B silversonic that I know of. The current model 3B's produced today are replicas of this model. This 3B is the real thing. Some lacquer wear on bell section and outer hand slide, but does not take away from playability. Handslide has had a Pro Set-up. Comes with a new Protec Max Hard Shell Case and mouthpiece. If you have been looking for the best playing 3B that you can find, don't let this one get away.
