King Zephyr Tenor 299xxx

Description

The early King Zephyr saxophones were the professional model sax made by King in their day. They were succeeded by the famed Super 20, which was a development of the Zephyr’s design. This horn has the three ring strap hook, the double-socket neck, and a lot of the same keywork and feel of the best, and earliest Super 20’s. That means that you are getting a lot of horn for the money. This horn has been relacquered, and it was apparently done recently, judging by the color of the lacquer. Mechanically it is in good condition, with no evidence of any past damage or dentwork, resolders, or non-original parts. It’s a nice, relacquered Zephyr that it ready for someone to buy it and start playing jazz. After all, these are the quintessential jazz saxophone and that is what they should be playing. This horn’s pads are pretty old, but they haven’t been played much. It is being sold as-is, needing a repad to play its best. It ships in the original case which is in good condition.
