Only minor cosmetic issues on the horn are various scuffs, scratches and some stray tool marks from previous repairs. The mechanical condition is excellent.

We set up the outdated Eb-F or forked F key to work properly. Most often these are corked up and not usable. The King saxophone has an interesting history and design and is very unique compared to other saxophones of the era.

Originally H N White imported Evette and Schaeffer saxophones and then V. Kohlert and stamped them H N White to sell to the general market.

But then in 1916 with the help of some innovative designers H N White designed their own saxophone and put it on the market. These were stamped King and H N White.

After producing saxophones exclusively for the armed services during WWI they incorporated in 1918 and added Co. Those instruments were stamped King Made by the H N White Co. Some interesting features of these saxophones include: The G# key opens on the back of the instrument like a flute.

The keys on the front all stay open until depressed allowing proper venting without being dampened by any closed keys. A Forked F key enabling many extra trills not possible on other brand saxophones. Just overhauled in our shop with all new kid skin pads, corks and felts. This beautiful King alto saxophone plays with a rich dark tone reminiscent of jazz bands from the 1920's to 1930's. Collectors and players take a look.
