King 1952 ‘Zephyr’ Bb Tenor, Silver #328k (Archived)
SOLD - S# is 328k which makes it circa 1952. This is in the prime of the Zephyrs era!--Big Super20 sound, half the price!...and SILVER It has the double socket neck, improved G# table, many features you would find on the 50's King Super 20. Original silver plating is 90% intact with a few small areas that have worn to brass. No major dings or dents in the horn, typical small dings and pings, which i will do my best to remove. the original low c keyguard was replaced, but i have a new company link making these! SO! i can find an exact replacement and silver-plate it to match--good as new. 🙂 Comes with original case in rough, vintage shape. Ask me about case options! It will get our "French Standard" rebuild, but substituted large flat metal reso's, for the selmer style plastic ones--so it will have a rebuild like it rolled out with in the 1950s.
SOUND: We did a side-by-side with my 1950 Zephyr in lacquer, this silver one rang clearer in the tone--clean, precise in response. perhaps that is a slightly boost in the Treble tones, if you must label it like that.

Keilwerth 1959 ‘Tone King’ Bb Tenor, w/ F#, #37k (Archived)
SOLD - From Sarge's Collection: This Tenor was identical to the "New King" model, but for one added key, a high F# Gizmo key... for this reason, JK decided to market the Tone King as the "Pro" model and the New King as the Standard. Serial # 37,xxx, it was built in about 1959, they only made Pro models during these years. These are supremely warm and smoky, jazzy horns, built solid like a tank, just heavy and beefy... and the sound was like that too. Keywork was great and ideas were stolen from almost every great pro horn to make this one. The neck tightening screw is like a Martin, the toneholes are rolled like a Conn, G#/Bb cluster is similar to a Selmer SBA... these can stand with any other horn from this era. Highly undervalued, should be worth 4000.00, i have seen nice examples like this one go for 2500.00... but hey, they are rare too, and you know what happens to rare tenors. I rebuilt it with Saxgourmet pads and Resotech slightly domed, Solid silver resonators.
Chadd comments: I'm scared to touch these ones with the plastic guard. But I like the look! It's like watching a machine in action! SOUND!!! This sax has HUGE Power! The Treble boost CUTS through! I need a Sound File to prove this!
