The King ‘3B’ is a classic jazz trombone which has been in production since the early 1950s, and was originally released as a larger version of the by then established 2B model. The gold brass bell of the ‘3BG’ model variant offers a slightly warmer sound than the brighter standard yellow brass model.
Also available in the King B-flat slide trombone range:
