Lately I’ve been super busy taking care of our latest big shipment, but I’ve managed to get a few awesome vintage horns taken care of as well.
This King Silver Tone has been my favorite of the week - not only is it beautiful to look at, but it’s a really nice player as well. So nice, in fact, that I need to walk away from it before I start to feel like I need it! The larger bore makes it feel very much like a modern instrument, so it’s super comfortable to play.
This horn is in really fantastic shape! It does show some wear to pistons and gold plate on the body, but pistons are still in good enough shape to not affect the playability by much. The bell is almost perfect, with a couple of small dings I left alone, but engraving is still sharp.
Add this one to your collection before I add it to mine - you’ll see it in our listings soon!
Hoping you love your job as much as I love mine today!

I played a King Silvertone just like it in High School, and would like to buy it. Does it still have its’ hard shell case?
GREAT looking horn. I’ve passed this page along to a couple of guys I know who play/collect these horns so hopefully you will sell it fast. I’m like you, though, if I look at it too much I am liable to bid on it myself! LOL
