Vintage1922 - 25 King Master Model Cornet, Medium Bore, W/Orig Case
Item History & Price
Vintage King Master Model Cornet, Medium Bore Written in HNWhite catalogue in 1939 about this cornet: "Sets a standard for simplicity, neatness, artistic design and perfect balance. A radical departure in design from all other cornets. Remarkable for its easy playing qualities and wonderful tone. Responds with the slightest effort."
This Cornet has been in case since 1962, the cornet mouth piece entry point is bent slightly (can be easily fixed) and has 3 places on the co...rnet with very small indentions.
We reached out to H.N.White makers of King Band Instruments 1896-1965. for information about the instrument which was bought used in 1960. There were his comments: "this is a King Master Model Cornet Medium Bore w/Original Case. It is one of the best cornets ever made. "Underslung" refers to the unusual air entry point going into the valves. My guess is that the age would be between 1922-1925
The mouth piece entry point is bent but can be easily fixed. The plating is in rough shape. My guess as to value would be around $250-300."
