Pete Cumming

Pete Cumming began playing a King trombone as a student, never dreaming he would one day work for the company.  Growing up outside of Cleveland, Ohio, not far from the King factory, Pete knew much about the famous instruments.  After college he briefly worked in the field of Architecture. His introduction to the music industry was while working for United Musical Instruments (UMI) beginning in 1997.  Pete has been there ever since that time.  He witnessed many changes, including a few different owners over the years (the company name was changed to Conn-Selmer in 2002) and developments in production processes.  Yet, through it all, Pete is proud that the reputation and quality of the instruments continues to hit the high notes!
