This is an amazing King SilverSonic Tenor with full pearls on the side and palm keys, but with a later serial than you normally see for full pearls. Basically, this was a factory special order with the pearls – one of a handful that I have seen over the years. It has the solid silver neck and bell, the gold in the engraving on the bell, and it has a complete mechanical overhaul done by Aaron Barnard of Barnard Repair in Iowa (who does great work!). This horn had been played a lot, and it had several dings removed from the neck (which now looks great). It has the distinction of being the loudest, wildest sounding SilverSonic that I have ever played. It really goes to 11. It just blasts, and even at low volumes it feels powerful and saturated. You will absolutely fall in love with this tenor. It gets my coveted ‘exceptionally fine player’ distinction. It comes in the beautiful original case as well. Priced on the high side, but the full pearls ones always demand a premium, and this late serial full pearls is extremely rare. Only one available!
