The King 1151 is a marching BBb tuba built around a 21-inch upright bell and a .734-inch bore, with three nickel-plated piston valves and a silver-plated finish. Its modular construction lets the bell and body break down for transport, and a first-slide finger ring gives players on the move a way to correct intonation. It suits high school and college marching bands that want a big, projecting tuba sound without carrying a concert horn. Against rivals like the Yamaha YBB-202M and Jupiter 1160, it is heavier and costs more to maintain in silver, but the forward-facing bell and quick valves are what band directors tend to notice.

Marching band directors and tuba players describe the 1151 as a loud, sturdy horn that holds tune better than most marching tubas. Most praise the projection and valve action; the main complaints are weight and the upkeep of silver plating.
