King 3B Trombone Henderson White, founder of the HN White Company, began his business as the owner of a small repair shop in Cleveland, Ohio. With the help of Mr. Thomas King, a local trombonist, White developed his first trombone in 1894. This was seen in the market as a "revelation" to the music world thanks to its radically different bell and leadpipe designs, with smoother and lighter shafts than any other trombone of the time. In 1909, the HN White Company developed an "Acoustical Research Department", with the goal of developing higher quality instruments. The company built saxophones and even horns. Upon White's death in 1940, control was assumed by Edna White, the first female executive in a male-dominated industry. When Henderson died in 1940, control was assumed by Edna White, the first female executive officer in the male-dominated music industry. Under his leadership the company flourished.
