Pre-Owned King Super 20 Professional Alto Saxophone - Lacquer with Silver Keys
We have a true vintage classic in the shop today: a King Super 20 alto saxophone. If you play jazz, R&B, or just want an alto that has a massive, wide-open sound, the Super 20 is pretty much the benchmark. It’s got that classic American vintage spread that you just can’t replicate with modern horns.
This specific Super 20 (serial number 484550) dates to the early 1970s. It features the highly desirable underslung octave mechanism on the neck, giving it that iconic King look and incredibly free-blowing response. It’s a great player's horn that packs a serious punch.
Key Features
-
Classic American Core: The Super 20 bore design is famous for being incredibly free-blowing. It gives you a massive, edgy sound that easily cuts through a big band or a loud rhythm section.
-
Underslung Neck: This alto features the classic underslung octave key mechanism on a single-socket neck, which is a favorite feature among vintage King enthusiasts.
-
Early '70s Build: Built in the early 1970s just after King's transition to the Eastlake factory, it still retains the heavy-hitting acoustic core that made the mid-century Super 20s famous.
-
Classic Aesthetics: Finished in a clear lacquer body paired with striking silver keys, giving it a beautifully distinct vintage look.
