Tonally, this is just a gorgeous alto to play. It has that “King thing” – a lively, projecting, soulful kind of core tone that is natural for jazz and lends itself to a wide range of settings. It is medium dark tonally for a Super 20 – Super 20s are robust and brightly lyrical generally, but this is more lush and thick than some of the later ones. It recently had a a full overhaul by the best repairman in Germany, Max Frei, for €1200 ($1475), and it is about as mechanically perfect now as it could possibly be. This means that you get 100% of the horn’s potential, and everything should be dialed in now for the next 5-10 years at least with only minimal tune ups, which is a big deal and a big plus.
This horn also includes a new BAM Softpak alto case, which is my favorite modern case for a Super 20. The Softpak is a $350 case, and is light, protective, and has a very comfortable shoulder strap. It’s also durable – I have used these for years without ever having a problem.
This is a turn-key purchase for a super example of a Super 20. This horn is going to make someone really happy!
