Description

The King 608F tenor is great crossover F attachment trombone. Similar to the 607F in design, the 608F has a warmer tone that is a result of the 8" rose brass bell. The traditional wrap F section promotes clean attacks and stability. The F thumb lever is located behind and to the side of the main brace allowing the weight of the trombone to be cradled between the thumb and first finger making for a very balanced and comfortable instrument. The chrome plated nickel silver inner handslide tubes provide the ideal surface for smooth and quick handslide action. The clear lacquer finish provides a subtle warmth to the overall sound. The 608F is a well designed durable instrument perfect for the students and amateur musicians and is well suited for all types of music. Available in silver-plate finish as model 608FSP.
