King Musical Instruments (originally founded as the H. N. White Company) is a former musical instrument manufacturing company located in Cleveland, Ohio, that used the trade name King for its instruments. In 1965 the company was acquired by the Seeburg Corporation of Eastlake, Ohio, and the name changed to "King Musical Instruments".
After four changes of ownership for King Musical Instruments since 1980, the rights to the King name are currently owned by Conn-Selmer, Inc., a subsidiary of Steinway Musical Instruments, who use it as a brand for brass instruments including trumpets, trombones, tubas, and marching brasses.
