Because of Mr. White’s personal involvement and knowledge of acoustical principles and mechanical experience, he was able to nearly perfect the trombone. From 1894 to 1908 each trombone slide was actually made by Mr. White, and he knew that the secret to the trombone was making the slide as smooth as possible with lightning quick response. The H. N. White King trombone is among the best in the world because of superior craftsmanship, the best raw materials, and the worlds best design. The King trombone was the main stay of the company in the early years and far more trombones were made by The H. N. White Company than any other instrument. The H. N. White Company made the following brands: King, American Standard, Cleveland, and Gladiator (which was produced from 1940–1953) trombones .In 1926–1928 H. N. White introduced Sterling Silver bells to his trombones, which produces better tone, being clearer, richer, with a more pleasing quality. Not to mention some of the best looking bells ever produced in the music industry. Even today H. N. White ‘King’ trombones are still played in bands all over the country. The H. N. White Company made all of its own trombones and did not stencil any for other companies (that I know of).

This page is designed to show the first known year of production (based on my catalogs) and any changes that are made over the production cycle of the instruments including model numbers and any unique specifications. In the production years of 1893–1910 it is important to consider that production of trumpets and cornets stated slowly and that the serial number list may not be 100% accurate, and that the company did not have ‘considerable’ production until 1905. Please do not get hung up on the serial number list, it is much more important to identify a time frame of when the instrument was manufactured. This page is broken into two parts. The first part is pre 1930, and the second part is post 1930. The reason for the two parts is the confusion of models and model numbers of trombones. It appears that in 1930 there was a reissue of model numbers to the the entire trombone line, and adding to the confusion all trombones were put into new categories with new models.
