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 1127S Ultimate Series 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 3rd slide finger ring. What’s more, the King 1127S ships in a stackable case that saves valuable storage space on the way to a performance. If you’re serious about your marching band’s low brass power, then the King 1127S Ultimate Series Bb Marching Baritone deserves an audition.
Intense tone and plenty of projection
When Sweetwater’s brass experts heard the 1127S Ultimate Marching Baritone for the first time, ears perked up all around. At normal dynamics, it delivers a centered tone with superb intonation courtesy of the adjustable 3rd slide finger ring. And as the player adds more air, the 10-inch yellow brass bell supplies a fierce resonance with enormous projection all the way to the nosebleeds. And once you hear the 1127S, its tonal tenacity is immediately apparent.
