Features fit for beginners

It has a 0.562-inch bore, which provides a comfortable amount of resistance for new players. Three front-action valves deliver smooth, precise playability. The nickel-plated pistons resist corrosion and provide a silky-smooth feel. The addition of pull rings on the first and second slides makes it easy to adjust the intonation. The instrument ships with a gorgeous lacquer finish that requires very little maintenance and shines under stage lighting. Entry-level brass instruments don’t get much better than the King 627 Diplomat Student Baritone.
Provides a great foundation
It’s vital that a student-level instrument reinforces proper playing habits. The King Diplomat 627 does exactly that, thanks to its thoughtful design and superb craftsmanship. The yellow brass body balances well in the lap, requiring very little effort to hold in proper playing position. The balanced feel encourages good posture, which will pay off in the long run. Furthermore, the .562-inch bore makes it easier to create and maintain a good buzz. These features combine to make the King Diplomat 627 Student Baritone is an excellent option for beginners.
