Yup, I play a King, original handmade. It's loud, focused and bright, very responsive with altissimo that could be used in place of whatever laser they use to trim the current DG pieces

I still remember the first month I spent on that piece...it just felt so wild (as in squirrely and hard to control) compared to the Meyer I was using at the time. Took a lot of shedding to get my face/airstream to the point where I could control the sound, but since then it's been a great affair.
Mine's a bit unique - the chamber was bored just a smidge off-center. Not noticeable looking into the mouthpiece from the tip, but looking into it from the shank it's way obvious. Don't think it affects playability much - I've played several other Kings from the same period that were very symmetrical, and there didn't seem to be much difference piece to piece.
