Study the photos carefully and ask questions. There are a few other resolders throughout the sax. Very worn laquer finish with small blemishes, and minor dents, no effect on it’s excellent sound.

Made in Cleveland Ohio in 1946, the first year of Super 20 manufacture! It is set up and ready to play on an older set of correct flat metal resonator pads, still flexible, with necessary ones replaced. I took Alto Saxophone in middle school & played some through high school but that was some time ago & I am now very rusty on my Saxophone skills & I have never played an instrument that reads on the bass clef so that is another skill that I would have to hone.īut, with that being said, does anyone have any ideas what it costs (ballpark figures here) to restore/ overhaul a tenor Saxophone this old? It has been stored in its original case for decades now & there is no structural damage that I can see (such as dents, or missing pieces) but it needs a good cleaning & polishing, all the pads need to be replaced, probably oiled?, & I'm sure it needs to be recorked (is that a word?).Extremely rare and desirable King Super 20 Special alto saxophone with all original pearl touches. So, my next thought was to restore it & learn how to play. From what I can tell, it's a King Tenor Saxophone Silver with the following manufacturing details.Īt first I thought about getting it appraised & insured but from what my research has told me to this point, these instruments aren't worth very much. I recently came into possession of my great-grandfather's tenor saxophone.
