Key Features
The King 4BF is the perfect trombone for musicians needing a versatile instrument. The large bore combined with the bronze bell on the 4BF is ideal for producing a massive symphonic sound with plenty of projection which is often sought after by orchestral trombone players. This type of tone is also favoured by trombonists who sit further down the section in jazz bands.
The closed wrap F attachment found on the 4BF is ideal for musicians who need to perform in lower octaves. Exceptional performance and build quality have earnt the King 4BF a legendary reputation both on stage and in the recording studio. All King Bb trombones now feature deluxe hand engraving and a sleek wood shell case for a luxurious and professional look.

Hand made in the USA, the 4BF is the best selling symphonic trombone that King has to offer. The large symphonic sound that is often required for orchestras is easier than ever to perform with an accurate and rich sound due to the large .547'' bore. Similar to other professional symphonic trombones, the 8-5/8'' bronze bell found on the King 4BF provides a warm and sonorous tone. For additional tonal warmth, the 4BF is finished with a bright clear lacquer. The closed wrap F attachment enables a crisp and quick response in the lower register - ideal for trombonists who sit lower down the section. The 4BF looks more professional than ever due to the newly designed hand engraving on the bell and vintage three-piece balancer.
Even back in the creation of King instruments in 1894, the instrument was hailed for its smooth and light slide action. From that point on, new skills and technology have only made king trombones better. The chrome plated nickel silver tubing makes for a lightweight slide, offering the player huge technical versatility on quicker passages of music.
As well the trombone, the 4BF includes a luxury black hard case designed for the King trombone to fit in securely. This makes transporting the instrument to concerts and rehearsals very easy. Also included is a King mouthpiece which is manufactured to the specifications of the trombone. It plays freely and easily in the mid-register and produces a beautiful and rich tone.
The first King trombone was developed in 1894 and was viewed as a revelation to the music world. King had a reputation for engineering the best trombone slides, making them smoother, finer and lighter than any other trombone. Today, King use their musical heritage to continue to set high standards for modern day trombones, combining both traditional techniques and modern-day processes into every instrument.
