Hi guys!
I've a mark VI 189xxx, a The Martin 202xxx and a Conn 10M 300xxx..all beautiful saxes that play really amazing. Few days ago i've played a King zephyr tenor 264xxx III series..it has match neck , round keys, double socket. it's a military model, so no engraved on the bell, with the written "U.S"
It really shocked me!!! OMG!!! it's incredible!!!
The only sax of my three that can competes it's the mark VI 189xxx! This King it's incredible because it really plays in modern way, it's like a mark Vi or keulwerth sx 90r..it has tremendous power but it's not too spread as Conn, it' big but it's loud, bright sound with really modern sound and projection!!
It plays fantastic as my mk6 in Pop, Funk, R&b but not only. It's scream sax!
Really, i 've never played nothing as this beast! I don't know if it's a strange thing, so i've bought it and i've sold my martin 202xxx!!
The Martin 202xxx it's modern sound, (more near to zephyr as intention) but it plays more gently and with less projection and power in generally especially on the lower notes.
The Conn in really far and another thing from King zephyr, another sound style and "vision"..it's old conception sound.
This King can substitute in all things my mK6 189xxx, really ..and in the upper register it plays even more open and nervous!!
I've even played the same day, another King zephyr ( no military) and it plays not good as this zephyr "military" i've bought.
I don't know if the military version it's better than the "normal" and engraved zephyr, have you some experience on this fact?
Everyway are there people that have King Zephyr tenor saxes that play so modern, screaming, loud??
Thanks so much!!
