The Sound of American Jazz Heritage
The King legacy began in 1894 when Henderson White, with the help of trombonist Thomas King, created a revolutionary new trombone that players immediately recognised for its lighter, smoother slide and distinctive acoustic design. What started in a small Cleveland repair shop quickly grew into one of America’s most forward-thinking instrument makers, trusted by professionals from Arthur Pryor’s Band to the great jazz soloists of the 40s and 50s.
