King Super 20

well- I started w/ an email to saxquest- but how about I widen the input options... I've had this sax sitting around for too many years- it's time for someone to play it like it deserves to be played! The serial # starts with 298... neck #'s match- Case says Gatzen, and it's a wreck...Should I even think about selling this baby?

      More to the point, what is the brand name on the horn itself?

        The case does say Getzen on the handle...the horn is a King Super 20

          Depending upon condition, my opinion would be ~$2000++? If it is in excellent condition, with side pearls and all original, either an alto or tenor could fetch ~$3500-4000. I love my Super 20 tenor so much, I just bought a Zephyr alto too.

          It is all original, as far as I know- I purchased it in the early 70's. Had some pads replaced a couple of years later...but no other work was done on it. The pearl keys are all intact. No dings- finish is a little worn, but I think it just needs a little cleaning. I guess my options are get it appraised and consign it or just put it on the free trade site...wish I had a local person that I could trust to look at it- I guess shipping it is a normal thing- just sounds kind of risky. Anybody know of a Florida contact?
