If you follow serial numbers this is one of the earliest ones you will find, and they are almost always a good deal later! This is horn is a very special extremely early era Super 20 serial #281xxx. It is even nicer in person than it looks in the photos.For sale is a gorgeous original lacquer full pearl King Super 20 alto saxophone with solid silver neck! I’d be happy to work with you on a package deal at a ridiculously good price on the case, just to protect the horn optimally. I would strongly encourage you to also add a modern BAM or Hiscox case for safer shipping. It includes the original King case in good condition too. This is a rare chance to get a clean, beautiful, problem-free example of this alto. The SilverSonics with gold leaf are really uncommon. This horn is nice and totally restored and ready to go for the next 10-15 years or more depending on how much you play. Everything that could be done was – all new pads, corks, felts, detailed setup, correct resonators, mechanical work all done. It just got a fresh, full overhaul done very well, and it is now playing its very best. This horn has very nicely intact gold leaf on the silver bell and a thick gold wash remaining inside the bell, making it one of the best looking SilverSonics that I have seen. The neck and bore seem to be the same, and the neck on this horn is particularly nice, with no past damage and no sign of repair. It has the improved left hand pinky cluster that is quite modern-feeling, and it is otherwise basically the same horn as what we call the “Series II” minus the pearl side keys.

This is an early third series Super 20 alto, not long after the end of the pearl side keys. This saxophone is what a jazz alto saxophone should sound like. Despite the popularity of the Selmer Mark VI, it’s still the Cannonball Adderley tone from Kind of Blue and Somethin’ Else that sticks in my ears the most, and that I hear in coffee shops and cafes and everywhere. It’s “that sound” that everyone thinks of in a jazz alto.
These work great with a vintage NY Meyer or modern New York Meyer reproduction.
You get that classic Cannonball/Charlie Parker King alto tone that is warm and bright at the same time. The Super 20 altos with sterling neck and bell and gold leaf on the silver bell are perennial favorites for lead alto players because of their bright, warm, singing tone that easily cuts through a band or a section. It also includes a fresh overhaul which is just finished. Here’s a career-making lead alto for someone to pick up. This saxophone is sold!
