Designed for the Utmost in Performance
Serious competition bands require the best possible tools. That means you must outfit your low brass section with horns that pack outrageous projection without sacrificing tonality. The King KMB612S Bb marching baritone features a handcrafted yellow brass body with a responsive 10-inch bell. It has a large-shank mouthpiece receiver and a 0.500-inch bore, for a slightly brighter tone and plenty of breath support. Players will appreciate the trio of smooth-playing nickel-plated piston valves and adjustable first- and third-slide finger ring. What’s more, the King KMB612S ships in a stackable case that saves valuable storage space on the way to a performance. Are you serious about your marching band’s low brass power? The King KMB612S Bb marching baritone deserves an audition.
