Antique King Liberty Trumpet - 1912 Model H.N. White produced model #39290 in 1912.  This horn is in very good condition.  Valves and slides work well and the horn has excellent engraving, hardly any dings, and not too much tarnish - considering that it's 96 years old! The horn plays well, producing a full, rich sound and allowing excellent range for experienced trumpet players.  The current owner is a former big-band player, with stints with Stan Kenton, Jimmy Dorsey, and Les Elgart, among others. The original case and mouthpiece are not included, but the owner does provide a new hard-shell case and a brand new gold plated Jet Tone Studio Model 10MD (great for upper register). The bell measures 4.5 inches.  The horn is 19.75 inches long and weighs 36 ounces. This is a version of the King Liberty played by trumpet masters like Harry James and Ziggy Elman, among others. This professional model horn could be refurbished and used by big-band or jazz players. The horn bell reads: "King - Liberty Model - Made by the H.N. White Co. - Cleve,d O." All original except for the new hard shell case and mouthpiece.
