   Yes, the regular or smaller bore tenor trombone has been the preference of 
many jazz greats for years.  The KIng 2B is an amazing horn that has been 
around forever and still is a leading contender.  Tommy Dorsey, Cutty 
Cutshall, Urbie Green and so many played the 2B and I am surprised to learn 
that many of the top young toughs today are using the 2B.  I must have had at 
least 6 of them over the years.   

   Jack Teagarden played a Reynolds for some years though I don't know which 
model.  Reynolds hasn't been made for years so yours has some mileage on it.
