Man...this must be the reason I ended up buying 2 Super 20's in a weeks time...It's Super 20 month!!!
But on a serious note, I bought a '58 Alto that really blew me away. SUCH a beautiful player. I liked it so much I went on a research binge and stumbled across a tenor that is interesting. It's a Super 20 of course, BUT I'm waiting for it in the mail as I believe it to be a special and different than your average one. I could be wrong though so I won't say anymore just yet. Trying not to get my hopes up. LoL. When it gets here I'll post about it

I'm celebrating all month with closet space for the non-Super 20 saxes in my household. And, I'm celebrating the builders who used to put these horns together .... In the King factory, back in the day, those guys really had it going on. Mine is as basic as they come, built in the Eastlake factory, brass body with a brass neck, used excessively in tough conditions (an orchestra pit) .... And it's still the best tenor I've ever played.
I would but I'm still waiting to come across that nice Cleveland Silversonic alto that's waiting for me and me for it, though we have not crossed paths yet.
1946 Super 20 Full Pearls and.....drum roll please....GOLD PLATED!!! I found it online (not eBay) and it was listed as a lacquer, but It looked funky so I enquired about it and sure enough it was a special order gold plate Super 20 and it was being sold by the ORIGINAL owner
Here's a little snap shot:
Needless to say, Super 20 month is being celebrated in my house for sure! Plays GREAT, but needs some work. This is a completely different flavor to the SBA...not sure where my heart lies yet

Well, I'm in for the end to join the festivities. My Silversonic tenor is going to get a lot of work next month as Spring has sprung and gigs are in bloom.
Just sold my SA 80 Ser II. Good horn; Reliable. But every month has been Series I Super 20 month for the last few years!
