In 1924, King revamped their saxophone lines with the introduction of the New Series horns. In 1922, a curved soprano, a baritone, and a C soprano were added to the line. These horns were available in bare brass, silver plate, silver plate with gold keywork, and gold plate. This has two benefits: the player can leave the right hand keys depressed while using the left hand mechanism (think of a D arpeggio), and the intonation of the problematic note A is vastly improved. This system involves using a double set of pads actuated by the G key, one corresponding to the note G, the other to the note G sharp. I’ve always considered this system to be a great idea, and have often wondered why it was not adopted by other makers. All three of these horns had, in addition to the forked E flat mechanism and G sharp trill key in vogue at the time, the unique “open” G sharp pad. In June, 1919, a tenor and a C melody were added to the line. King secured a government contract, and the entire saxophone production from 1916 –1918 was sold to the U. In 1915, work began on the design of a King saxophone, and this model (an alto) was introduced in 1916. From 1910 until 1916, the company distributed Kohlert saxophones. The first saxophones distributed by the company were Buffet horns which were imported from 1908 – 1910. In 1903, he was joined by his brother, Hugh White, and in 1924, by his son, Richard White. Following the death of Henderson White in 1940, his wife took over operation of the company and ran it successfully for many years. Berg out and became the sole owner of the H. White had been a repairman in Detroit, Michigan and later moved to Cleveland, Ohio to head the re[air department at McMillin’s Music Store. White Company, which was founded by Henderson N. In recent years, these horns have developed a cult following, and I consider some of the models to be seriously undervalued.
#KING CLEVELAND VS KING TEMPO TROMBONE FULL#
They are not without their quirks and faults, but there is just that indefinable something about the sound of a King at full song that gets my blood pressure up and my hair standing on end. But overall in excellent shape and plays well as far as I can tell. There's a few minor scuffs and dings, tuning slide has slightly flattened spot, slide missing a little lacquer. Nice vintage trombone from 1969, with beautiful nickel plated bell.
Despite being a student trombone, it is capable of deliver. This trombone has gotten me through 4 years of high school as first chair in the jazz band, regional / all-star bands, and 4 years as first chair in my university's symphony orchestra. The Cleveland 605 is King's student line trombone model. King Cleveland 605 Trombone - $80 (Phillipsburg).King Cleveland Superior Student Trombone. King Cleveland Trombone - $100 (COVINGTON).
