 You are looking at nice example of the legendary King Liberty pro trumpets of the early 1950s era. Here's a 1950 vintage King Liberty by H.N. White Co. made in Cleveland Ohio. This trumpet is an incredible player and has that nice vintage mid-century "art deco" look to it.  The valves are buttery smooth and  quick and the slides are all free and lubricated.  Silvery valve plating is intact and slides make a nice "pop" when pulled. The beautiful original lacquered brass finish is approx. 80% intact and has that wonderful honey/amber colored tint to it that so many collectors find desirable. King used a very durable gold lacquer in the early 1950s when this horn was built. There is some average finish wear and scratches to the finish (please see pictures) but overall the horn holds a nice shine.  The really interesting thing about this trumpet is - not only is it a standard Bb trumpet - you can easily and quickly convert it into the key of A by simply removing the tuning slide extension and pulling the remaining 3 slides out to the marked points. So you can literally change from a Bb trumpet to an A trumpet in seconds! (Picture # 7 shows the horn in the "A" configuration) This trumpet was an extremely popular professional model in it's day and plays and functions as well as most modern pro trumpets.  The build quality on these vintage Kings is extraordinary. Leadpipe is in very good shape. All parts and everything are intact. No major dents anywhere - there and some small dings in the horn, but they are not very noticeable. Bell has very fancy flowery engraving and reads "KING LIBERTY MODEL MADE BY THE H.N. WHITE CO. CLEVELAND OHIO".  This horn has the classic and unique King Liberty tuning slide brace, art deco styling throughout, adjustable 3rd slide stop rod and traditional waterkeys. So it's fully loaded and ready to jam!! Serial # is 312XXX indicating it was made in 1950 when horns were built to last!  The slides have been lubricated and all function well. All joints on this trumpet are solid and the horn is all ready to perform. This one is very free blowing and is definitely suitable for serious player. It has a darker thick rich tone that I haven't found in any modern pro horns. These trumpets are great for almost any musical setting, including jazz, big band and concert band. This is a wonderful opportunity to get a really fine playing, nice used condition 1950 King Liberty convertible trumpet. This trumpet has been play tested and is the complete package. Buy here and get a superior quality collectable vintage musical instrument that will hold its value. Long live the King Liberty!

This trumpet will come with a later model black King hardshell gladstone case. The case is in very good condition, protects the trumpet well, and looks presentable. The case also has storage room, a mouthpiece slot, and the "KING" emblem on the exterior.  You also get a mouthpiece and valve oil so you can get playing this beauty right away.  Shipping includes insurance and handling.  Yes, we ship International. Please ask if you have any questions. If you've been looking for a great playing, nice original vintage King Liberty pro trumpet, then this would be a great horn for you.
