Soprano King-Marigaux SML Paris

[kiz]

Hi,
how about a soprano from King Marigeaux with serial 24600. Has anyone experiences with horn like that? I can buy one for around 600$. Is it a good deal? The condition seems to be fair. :?:

Thanks,
Klaus

I had one for a while... I liked it quite a bit. I sold it in favor of a Buescher True Tone, but it was a tough decision.

I have Max's old one. I like it, nice sound and good action.
$600. is a decent price if it's in good shape, around these parts a rebuild is another $600. so...

I had a King-Marigaux, and it was excellent.

Cannonball Adderley played the King-Marigaux (SML) soprano, and occasionally a Mk VI. He used both on his album "Accent on Africa" for effect.
