Some of the biggest names in the music business have traveled with a King by their side. King instruments are known for their response and excellent intonation, as well as innovation that always tests the limits of an instrument. That's what made King famous.

The King legend began in 1893 when Henderson N. White crafted his first instruments for Thomas King, a professional trombonist from Cleveland, Ohio, for whom the instruments were named. Other artists like the world-renowned Dizzy Gillespie as well as Pierre Dutot and Rolf Holly are on King instruments.
