King Super 20 Tenor Saxophone w/ Original Case, 1960s - Used

1960s King Super 20 Tenor Saxophone – Mixed-Era Features – Fully COA’d – Performance Ready

Up for sale is a King Super 20 Tenor Saxophone, serial number 400534. While this serial places it in the mid-1960s (Series IV), the horn features classic early-era Super 20 characteristics: nickel-silver key touchpieces and hinge tubes, brass pad cups, and a silver-colored neck with yellow-brass hardware. These features suggest a factory transitional horn, making it a unique and highly collectible instrument.

This horn has received a full Clean, Oil, Adjust (COA) and is performance ready. It shows moderate lacquer wear and scratching throughout, with minimal dings and dents, consistent with its age. The horn retains its original lacquer, case, and pad saver, and the keywork and neck are in excellent condition and fully functional.
