[Features]
A representative model of King's early days when the company began full-fledged in-house saxophone production.The "Voll-True" is a representative model of King's early years when the company began to manufacture saxophones in earnest. The Voll-True does not have a pedestal attached to the body like today's saxophones, and the feet of the keyguard are kept to a minimum, making it very light and comfortable to play. However, the tone hole is thickly molded, which is probably an effect of the thicker wall, giving it a solid sound with a low center of gravity.Although the instrument is nearly 100 years old, it is in good condition to be used as a playing instrument. It has been overhauled and can be used comfortably. It was released by a veteran player.
☆Okubo Wind Instrument Store is collaborating with Odagiri Workshop, a saxophone repair shop specializing in saxophones, to perform all the adjustment work process. Mr. Odagiri himself is responsible for the final balance adjustment.
