saboudel « True to his former »
Published on 12/11/10 at 04:33Before I played a Selmer Reference 54, is the very high end, but after trying a few saxophones golden age of jazz, I quickly wanted to get one.
King Zephyr II suits me perfectly, it's really the old, to Charlie Parker. Certainly as with any vintage sax, it takes time to get used, especially if we were accustomed to a modern sax.
For issues of ergonomics and ease of transmission so I think it is a matter of habit. The issue still remains shrill less easy than on modern sax, but it happens.
The only drawback is that it is, by its very distinctive sound, less versatile than a reference 54, for example, so I kept it (the reference) for certain occasions, even though now I seems like it was described in an earlier opinion, dull and stiff.
I bought mine € 850 in very good condition, revised: I have made a very good deal, when we know the current price of sax.
