King 3B. Model 2103Now called the Model 2103, the 3B continues to be a legend. The reason for this undying popularity is simple. The King 3B is perhaps the most versatile trombone of all time. Its lyrical sweetness makes it a natural for ballad work, and its exceptional clarity of tone in the high register makes it the perfect lead horn. Yet the 3B blends well with other voices, so it performs exceptionally well in section work.Todays 2103 is the most advanced 3B ever made. Slides are drawn and polished to a level of precision unheard of until recently. Bells are spun with a consistency that has never been equaled.The flagship of todays 3B line is the Model 2103. The 2103 has a .508" (12.9mm) straight bore and an 8" (203mm) yellow brass bell. This combination provides a mellow tone that can be easily brightened. The 2103 also has nickel silver outer slides and a clear lacquered finish. It comes equipped with a 12C Mouthpiece and a deluxe covered woodshell case.Legend 3B Model 2103F. This proud member of the 3B family is dimensionally identical to the 2103 but features an F rotor attachment for those occasional ventures below the staff or for simplified slide positioning in fast technical passages.Its sometimes necessary to dip below the staff to nail an E or D but still maintain a clear tenor sound, especially in section work. For these requirements we offer the King Model 2103F. This model is nearly identical to the standard 3B, but it has an F attachment with single trigger. Not only does the F attachment come in handy when a little extra lower range is required, but it also helps simplify tricky technical passages. Because its a 3B, the 2103F blows clean, clear, and without a trace of stuffiness. A King ClassicFor many, the King name will always be synonymous with Sterling silver bells. And for good reason! King made its first Sterling trombone bells more than 70 y.
