Vintage Silver King Clarinet Sterling Silver Bell Super Cool. White Company, Cleveland Ohio. Type II Silver Plated. Yes, New CWW hard case. Yes, original King B. Silver King Clarinet Background. Mechanically and Musically perfect! A Properly built metal clarinet is far superior to those built of wood or ebonite. That is proven by the way in which noted bands and players are turning to metal instruments. There is complete freedom from checking, cracking or warping. And you can play at any time, under any weather conditions, confident that your instrument will be in tune and that response will be instant. There is no magic in the use of metal. Unless the clarinet is properly designed and accurately built, the mere use of metal does not make it good. The Silver King Clarinet is properly designed and accurately built. Bell is made from pure sterling silver to give new beauty of appearance and a better tone. Body and keys are of a new, exclusive silver metal that gives greater strength and permits of added accuracy in building. Keys are beautiful in design and lay just right under the fingers, giving the proper feel. While offering many improvements in design and construction, the one great feature of the Silver King is its absolute accuracy in every part and detail. From that mechanical accuracy comes the trueness of scale, a perfection of tone and intonation and an ease of playing that has never before been approached. –King Complete Catalog, 1929.
