All H. N. WHITE KING mouthpieces were built
to the same high standards as found in King
instruments. In addition to regular models,
special concave and slanting rim models were
made for special lip and teeth formations. To
order a concave rim you would add 3/4 to the
mouthpiece number and to order a slanting rim,
you would add 1/2 to the mouthpiece
number.The 1911 mouthpieces were made of
solid rod brass which would allow the silver
plating to last longer than cast brass
mouthpieces. In 1924 the Equa Tru line of
mouthpieces was introduced.

separate rings of gear lines on the mouthpieces. The second

designed with a single groove line.
