King Super 20 Around 1947 - Bare Brass

Copied from Consignor: “King Super 20, #292177 (Around 1947) A classic Super 20!
Nice post war H.N. White King Super 20 in a prime serial number range! This sax came to us as a kind of a reclamation project. It has all the bells and whistles: Lacquered bell but with silver neck; Underslung octave mechanism on a double socket neck. Neck is original; matching serial number on the neck.  Neck is in very good condition. Bottom bow has had some work done. Original “Mother Of Pearl” (Not Silver plated) "Touches" (Right side keys, Left and Right pinky keys, Alternate F#, and on these Ivory-like rollers. All Bell tone (Low Bb, B, C, Db) bell key pad cups have art deco design on them. The sax was brought to us in essentially bare brass, and with original lacquer at that, with very sharp, detailed engraving, and also came to us with a kind of Gold colored paint or spray on the body in certain areas. We succeeded in removing this, and polished it down to the bare brass, and gave it a new repad with high quality pads and Conn Style metal resonators, (flat with the rivot in the middle). In the end a real “players” horn brought back to real life! Play well with a full bodied resonant sound! Comes in an original King Tenor Saxophone case. Latches working well.” Final adjustments made by Master Artisan Pro Woodwinds. The instrument is mechanically solid, and the adjustments stable to hold an airtight seal with a light key touch.
