The horn sings from bottom way into the altissimo ranges with the classic, bold and vibrant King Super 20 sound that legends played. Cannonball Adderley, Yusef Lateef, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and other masters swore by these horns. The finish on this horn is a rich, dark gold lacquer that is upwards of 80% still on the horn. The Series Vs included the famed "underslung" octave key, but went to a single tenon design, more like all other saxophones the double tenon design had leak issues...
This horn feel incredible in the hands, is very responsive and has a brilliant color and sound. Intonation is great for this era of horn. The horn has just been regulated for professional playing and sings.
New neck cork and various other corks replaced, all pads seated, etc... She comes in the original King case that is in very good condition. As a professional player, recording artist and bandleader, endorsed by most of the top manufacturers on the planet - Selmer Paris / Conn-Selmer, Oleg Products, Theo Wanne, Silverstein Works and others, I vouch for this masterpiece of a saxophone. I would keep in my collection as it's that good, but need to pass it on to a player who will use it regularly with love.
