$1,750 · 1945 King Zephyr Tenor Sax

King Zephyr tenor saxophone. Serial #269xxx, dates from late 1945 or early 1946. Somewhere along the line it was stripped of its original lacquer and is now bare brass. Has some patina and minor tarnish, but a overall nice natural vintage brass appearance. A good player's horn. Has Jim Schmidt Gold pads. Original thumb-rest was replaced with an adjustable one. Was set up at L&M last year by Chris Watt and he adjusted the key heights, smoothed out a few small dents and fixed some leaks. Selling only because my son is not comfortable with the old-style ergonomics, and wants something with a more modern feel. This is a well-made, well-maintained horn that would suit an experienced player who wants that vintage feel and sound. $1750 obo. Includes hardshell case and brass body cap. No trades. Thanks for looking.
