Up for sale, a clean King Zephyr Alto saxophone, circa 1955. Serial number is 340,xxx (matching pocket-neck serial). Lacquer is in remarkably nice condition, pads look fresh. The horn is not perfect, there are a few tiny dings on the bell (and a small ding on the neck), some minor scratches here and there (some pictured on the bell), and the bottom lip area of the bell feels a little "flattened" or pressed down if that makes any sense. I looked through the other Zephyrs that have sold or been listed recently and would say this one is cosmetically better than most. Appears ready to play, no issues I can detect. (sorry folks, I'm not a player so these comments are only observational and I may fail to hit every detail) Includes a "King" A mouthpiece. Case appears original and is cosmetically fair to poor - stitching is coming off of one end and the handle looks shabby. Shipping will be USPS Priority Registered mail, insured at full value or in a similar tracked/insured manner. US bidders/buyers only please. Please ask questions prior to committing to purchase.
