King Silver Tone Master Cornet Background:
Look.
And listen.
The round, lyrical sound of this King Master Model reveals its true beauty.
The tones are pure and clear…from a velvet softness to a bell-like brilliance.
The traditional cornet lines, with gently sweeping mouthpipe, insure the rich sound.
Intonation is flawless.
Valves are lightning-swift.
Combine this beauty and tone quality with truly rugged construction, and you have an instrument worthy of the name King.
You play relaxed, and know this King Cornet will deliver all that you ask.
Solid Sterling Silver Bell responds instantly, gives precise control, projects farther.
The sound is richer, slightly “darker” with more overtones and the tone will not crack-ever!
--King White Way Catalog #10, 1938

The case is in good shape but one of the leather straps is broken, the case will stay closed without it.
The interior and exterior of the case are in great shape.
The case also comes with its HN White King emblem.
Special Note:
There is a very small amount of surface pitting (two super tiny pits on the third valve) it was very difficult for it to show up in the pictures.
We have had a lot of fun restoring this cornet and think that the gold leaf turned out amazing.
The King Silver Tone Cornet is a legend and that is because its sound was perfect for all venues. This Cornet sounds great with its mellow full tone that you can only get with a solid sterling silver bell.
This cornet is in great condition and is ready to play!
