King 5B Trombone Review

[@TheCbone1979]

Wow. The musical economic landscape is far better now than when I was in marching band. We didn't march with large bores, it was all pea shooters. Now everyone has triggers and large bores on the field. That is great.

[@thenewtrombonium1166]

To clarify, at my high school, everyone else marches peashooters. I chose to march this because the small bore was too squirrely and didn't have enough solid "oomph" to the sound. The trigger came in handy, too.

@@thenewtrombonium1166 Nice video bro! what mpc were you using? I'm thinking of buying one. Question: Using the F Attach, why didn't you play the low B on the second position instead of the 7th?It gotta sound good with the trigger. Check out some of my videos, I hope you like them and also subscribe back. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYeampeIZ7urrZY Best.

​@@CrisFerrerYT I used to use a Benge 1.5G on this. Nowadays I'm playing a Benge 290 with a Bach 1G megatone. The T2 position is only used for B in the staff. The one an octave below needs to be out that far.

Where can I find that piece to superstition you sounded great I play on a Yamaha xeno 882GO but I’m trying to get a king 4b

[@thenewtrombonium1166]

That piece of Superstition is the brass part that happens before the chorus in the original song.

Does this take a large or small shank mouthpiece?

[@thenewtrombonium1166]

Large shank!

[@RyanBisson]

@@thenewtrombonium1166 Hey thank you. Turns out the one that I just got is even bigger than large shank. :(

[@thenewtrombonium1166]

@@RyanBisson I should be more specific- King large bore trombones have a slighty larger receiver compared to modern standards. A typical large shank mpc *should* fit unless mouthpieces have been jammed down the leadpipe. Easiest solution is to wrap the mpc shank with some Teflon tape.

[@RyanBisson]

@@thenewtrombonium1166 Ah!! I just bought a 5b and you're right its just a little bigger than a large shank mouthpiece. Thanks for the tip! I'm gonna pick up some teflon tape today!

[@Chef316]

I own one! Got mine used back in 2000 used from Fullerton Music. Mine has the plastic arm.

[@thenewtrombonium1166]

They're great horns. I changed my linkage to plastic when a 1990s King 4BF passed through my hands briefly, I couldn't stand how clunky the metal linkage was getting.
