[Trombone-l] Another King thing

[Richard Barrett]

Friends

 

I wanted to use the website Doug mentioned
(http://www.dancipsax.com/iserialkingbone.html) in regard to the King 3b to
date my 4b Sonorous model that someone told me was late 1970s.

 

I am confused by the fact there are two serial numbers - one on the bell
section is 726485, another on the slide is 8543.  Which one do I use and how
old is the instrument really?

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Best wishes

 

Richard
