Description: Up for auction is a rare and vintage professional 1949 H. N. White King Super 20 "Silver Sonic" tenor saxophone. All keys move freely and the tenor sax plays fine on older pads/corks(adjustments may be required after shipping or for personal preference). This tenor saxophone has full pearls, a sterling silver bell, a double socket sterling silver neck, elaborate bell/key engraving and gold plating on the inner bell/on bell engraved areas. There are no major dents present and several minor dings don't affect performance. This tenor sax has scratches throughout from normal use and the lacquer wear is minimal, with approximately 85-90% of lacquer intact(possibly not the original lacquer). The matching neck and body serial number is in the low 298,xxx range, which dates the year of manufacture to approximately 1949. While the bell is not engraved "Silver Sonic" like some later models, a sterling silver bell marking(just above the bell bow) can be seen in the pictures. Part of the pearl touch piece on the Gb/Ab left pinkie key is missing and a piece of cork has been substituted as the touch surface. Included is a like new Gator tenor sax case(includes two keys and a case carrying strap) and a brass body tenon cap. No mouthpiece is included.
