King 2B brace width

Post by JMR »

Simple question, I have a King 2B (not a 2102, if that makes a difference) and I wanna know the width of the brace between the curved main brace and the tuning slide brace.

I wanna clamp a beltpack to it and need to know the width

Thanks!

Is this for marching? Sticking something on that brace will most likely change how it responds and plays.

It's for playing in a rock section. I put velcro on there 3 years ago so if there were changes in the sound I guess I'm used to them now.

Good thing about the clamp is that if it does actually change the sound too much, I can go to plan B

3 3/4 inch (9.52 cm) at the ferrule

3 13/16 inch (9.68 cm) at the socket

I sent you an email with pictures.

It is a 2b

I mean the width of the brace, not its length between the bell and neckpipe

I think you mean diameter of the rod.
.367, just under 3/8"
.424 on the end ferrules or whatever they're called.
