King Zephyr Alto Saxophone Background:

The past few years have seen a major swing to King saxophones on the part of band directors and popular artists.  Recent design changes have created exceptional tonal quality, intonation and action.  Add to tis the integrity and care with which Kings are made, you know why the swing’s to King.

 King saxes are delivered with keys, screws, springs, rods in perfect alignment-with exact factory adjustments locked in.  King action is fast, light, precise and comfortable.  Scale lines are remarkably accurate.  Great sound comes easier because it’s built into these Kings.  Magnificent appearance highlights the story.

A fine alto with magnificent response, crafted in the King tradition of quality, yet at a moderate price.  Nickel keys and guards.  --White Way News Catalog 21B, 1965.
