FS: 1990's King 2B

greenbean · 2022-02-04 2:15 a.m.

Here is very nice King 2B (2102) from the 1990's. Slide is great, tuning slide works well, horn is clean, it has no dents, non-original King case is clean, and it is a great player. What more do you want?... Oh, a mouthpiece? Fine, I will include one.

Does it play similarly to the Liberty horns?

I am not familiar with how Liberty's play. In fact, I don't know much about any of the 2B models. To me, this horn seems like a smallish 3B - but that is probably not helpful to you.

Maybe someone else will chime in... :hi:

The original King Liberty (from the 1930s) was a single bore sub-0.500" horn. Later they introduced the 2B Liberty which has the dual bore 0.485"/0.495". Eventually the single bore Liberty was phased out and only 2B Liberty trombones remained. The 2B was called Liberty up to the advent of the 21xx models (2B became 2102). Some time around the 1990s King introduced the 2B Jiggs Whigham, which was a single bore "2B" -- more like the original Liberty, but not labeled as such. Greenbean's horn is NOT a Jiggs, so it's a proper dual bore 2B.

So which Liberty do you want to compare with? A 2B Liberty? Exactly the same. A single bore Liberty? A bit different.

Yeah, I meant the Liberty-era 2Bs. I've owned a couple of those, but never played 2Bs from any other era.

Okay, you pea-shooter lovers!... I need to move this and a few other horns. So, name your price!...

(Or tell me what you are really looking for. I might have one.)

What else do you have!?

This is exactly the horn I am looking for, but I am way too late!

If the person who bought it wants to sell it, let me know please.

I just checked. He will be keeping it.

Darn.

Thanks for looking into this though.
