Man, that's beautiful! I've always loved that art deco style engraving and I have a soft spot for split bell horns with those old Conn key cages. Thanks for posting!

Incredible product for the Depression Era. I did watch a video on burnishing gold. Crazy mad skills.

Thanks for showing Matt. That is stunning! Lucky technician, lucky owner.

What a beauty! I used to have a Buescher True Tone alto in burnished gold plate, a nice horn but not in this league.

What a gorgeous horn, wow. Burnished gold aside (which is already beautiful), those engravings are incredible. Thanks for sharing

[@StohrerMusic]

Thank you! Hopefully I will get a chance to do another one.

Great Video Matt! Fantastic horn, thanks for sharing!

[@T.H.W.O.T.H]

Wow. Pretty even for an alto!

[@Globoglobitos]

Beautiful horn Matt! Do you happen to know if any Art deco transitionals had the updated LH pinkie table?

[@tooties545]

Very cool. I bet it weighs a ton compared to a regular lacquer finish.

Hey I just have a question that I was wondering if you could answer. I bought a King zephyr tenor sax last year the serial number on it is 285434 and I was just wondering what this history is of its model any help would be great it also has a nickel plated neck and patterns on the low keys and bell itself any help would be great!

[@StohrerMusic]

If it says zephyr special on the bell, that's not nickel plate, that's solid silver. And then you can watch my repairments overview about that model.

[@joekennedy3493]

@StohrerMusic No it just says King Zephyr on it with bell engraving on that and the bell keys.

@@joekennedy3493 not sure then! you can go to my website and find my email and send me some high-res photos and perhaps I can be of further assistance after seeing it.

[@joekennedy3493]

[@joekennedy3493]

I've sent some more photos of the sax.
