[edit] Ultimate Marching Brass Line

In 2003, King partnered with Phantom Regiment to test out the newly redesigned "Ultimate" series of marching brass products. The current production lineup is as follows:

• Model 1117 Marching Trumpet
• Model 1121 Marching Mellophone
• Model 1122 Marching French Horn
• Model 1127 Marching Baritone
• Model 1129 Marching Euphonium
• Model 1141 Marching Tuba
• Model 1151 Marching Tuba

For 2006, Phantom Regiment also had the privilege of field-testing a new marching tuba model, dubbed the 1151. Its design has been streamlined for better balance, and this new model also adds a bigger bell (22.5 inches in comparison to the 1141's 19.5" bell).
