Seller:pgc62290(35)100%, Location:Stillwater, Minnesota, Ships to: US, CA, Item:283301081682Genuine King Tempo 600 Bb Trumpet, silver plating. 1960 - 1965, USA made. Very rare and highly valued make/model/year. Cosmetic condition is fair/good (several dings throughout instrument which do not impact functionality nor performance, but are visually unappealing). I’d rate 7/10 for cosmetic condition. All imperfections are clearly photographed in the images. Functional condition is great. This instrument plays beautifully and it’s tone and acoustics are just as they were when I purchased. I’d rate 9/10 for functional condition. The horn is smooth sounding, easy playing, and holds tune extremely well. the acoustical qualities of the instrument itself seem to balance uniquely well across the different frequencies of sound (think equalizer) and helps the instrumentalist produce clear highs and full lows. The note is bright, full, and clear, and a tad less “brassy” sounding that most trumpets in its price range. The tone is one of the cleanest and fullest I have heard across any trumpet, even modern professional makes. Although it’s considered a intermediate/professional level instrument, I played it as a beginner along with playing many of my friends and colleagues instruments, and even for a beginner the trumpet is noticeably superior in playability and sound for its price range. Serial number is in pics (37 210609) and corresponds to the years 1960 - 1965 for manufacturing period. This is considered by many to be one of Kings best trumpet manufacturing periods. **** King began crafting instruments in 1893. As a highly valued name in the instrument industry for many decades, the brand was acquired by several different makers over time, and currently owned by a larger scale producer. Most King instruments (notably - the 601 series trumpets, a common entry-level horn) unfortunately dropped substantially in the level of care, engineering, and knowledge that went into their trumpets, though the cost to produce and sell also dropped. Please do not mistake this instrument as a recent 600/601, which saturate eBay/etc searches and have unfortunately tainted the reputation of this series. These horns are labeled differently (“King Instruments”, not “King”, among others), and only available with brass finish, the silver plating was not offered on newer models. There are subtle visual differences in horn appearance, but checking a serial number is the most objective way to tell date of production, and which manufacturer was making at that time. Note that even the King and affiliated manufacturer sites state that lack of records makes a precise date difficult, so the serial number ranges are grouped within a span of years (generally 5 years). The range of dates corresponding to the serial number 210609 is 1960-1965, which predates the era when the brand was transitioned to more budget/beginner quality and cost. This instrument is worth quite a bit more than I’m asking, however it’s typical market is a very small number of enthusiasts, so I’ve dropped the price to fit more entry level prices to expand interest and views. I am not in a rush to sell and would like to find a buyer who will treat the instrument with the care and value it deserves. Includes Case (hard skeleton, mold of trumpet (high impact ), silk lined), Mute, Cleaner/Lubricant, and mouthpiece Let me know if you are interested and I can send more pics, videos, audio etc. Thanks for looking! Contact anytime with questions or requests! PeterCondition:Used, Brand:King, Finish Material:Silver, Leadpipe Material:Silver, Color:Silver
Congratulations on your trumpet purchase and your upcoming experience in school band. Regarding the King trumpet, I am not an expert and others will likely give more details but here is what I know. Your trumpet was made in 1988. This is determined by adding 50 to the 2-digit prefix on the serial number. The King Tempo has been a well known intermediate level trumpet by the King Company since 1962. The TEMPO was introduced in 1962 to replace the SUPERIOR model. Bore.458 Bell 43-3/4' Weight 2# 6oz. Recently acquired a King model 600 trumpet made about 1979 according to the serial number. It plays very well, has a nice full large sound, which makes me think it is a large bore horn.
