FROM KING:
The King 4B trombone has a classic large bore symphonic trombone design. Because of the bore design, it has a very open feel and is best suited for the lower parts in a jazz band as well as for symphonic playing. This is a very versatile model of trombone.From the HN White Archives: Produces a robust trombone sound, a full rich-bodied tone with great dynamic range and power. Solid sterling bell responds instantly, gives precise control, projects farther. The sound is richer and slightly darker with more overtones. The tone will not "crack" no matter how loud you play it.
