Used King Zephyr 1960-70 Original Case and Complete Re-pad

Serial # 448217

Series II

I have had two sites with conflicting information I seem to find this 1960-70 being the most real with the serial number. One blog and site listed it as 1963-64.

This is a very nice instrument and has had all the pads replaced. As well as the instrument was cleaned Ultrasonically, Replaced the neck cork, checked all keys, and bumpers and play tested

For its age it only shows little signs of plating wear on some the keys and the face of the instrument where the etching engraved name is.

Everything moves and plays very smoothly. Adjust for medium action and response (may need some adjustment per players liking)

This was in my opinion the era when these were at their prime. Most models between late 50s and early 70s had many improvements that made them very likable and had the most playability as well as its unmatched tone.

Made in USA

The case is original with green velvet lining. The latches and handle are good, but some of the leather is peeling off the ends. Close up photo taken.
