Although all the King horns you see nowadays will be quite old (and some that were high school or middle school horns are in bad shape), they were (and can still be) excellent instruments!
Probably the two most common models of horn you’ll see are King Fidelio and King Eroica model horns. Both were designed in the 70’s by a great horn designer, maker, and repair person George McCracken. They look a bit Kruspe-like with the change valve location before the three main valves, but the tubing arrangement is very unique and they are really a very different wrap. The Fidelio model is a medium bell throat, while the Eroica is a larger throat. If you can find them in good shape, you can pick one up for about $1,500-2,000 and they are a great value!
