King 5b: Is it a good horn?
Hello gents, I'm here for some input. I know this is something to ask on the trombone forum but I'm too lazy to register and feel more comfortable asking yall. I want to know about the King 5b. Is it a decent horn and is it good enough to be used professionally in todays modern world of music? I also want to know if it is considered a tenor or a bass? We have a 5b Silversonic at my school (it is absolutely beautiful) that I play on occasionally and I really like it. I also like its ability to pop out low notes. I just wanna know what any of the seasoned trombone players here on the forum think of it if they've had any experience with this particular model. My director my let me buy the horn so it would be nice to here some professional opinions.
