For sale is a 1940-41 King Liberty 2b in Silver.  The horn is in very good condition for its age.  I would rate the slide a 9/10 (10 if it is properly lubricated).  I have two cases for the horn:  you may choose either the King coffin style case or a more modern lightweight case.  Price is $1,100.00, plus shipping/insurance.  Pictures are posted at http://wavechart.com/king2b.htm

If interested, contact me at [url=mailto:[email protected]][email protected][/url].

P.S.  If you need a mouthpiece for the horn, I have several I no longer use.  I am sure we can work something out.

Silversonic? Sterling? I assume with the gold wash bell it is...

Although the horn as the look of a silversonic, it's not sterling silver.  I don't believe the inside of the bell was ever silver plated.

Over the last 10 years or so, I bought and sold a number of  jazz horns.  Since most of my playing is in a pit orchestra, I am not able to use one that often.  Anyway, most recently I have owned a Martin 4501 Urbie Green, Conn 100h, a King 2b+ and this King 2b.  By far, this was the best player of the bunch.  The high range is very easy in comparison.  I last used the horn for a gig during 2016 in the musical Will Rogers Follies  If you know the show, it features a trombone solo up to high C.  This clip gives you an idea of what the horn sounds like - http://wavechart.com/willrogersfollies.mp3 (Sorry about the quality, I recorded this on my cell phone.)
