What do you think of this alto?

That has to be the absolute worst, most amateur factory engraving I have ever seen! If it weren't for the body/keywork being mostly correct, I'd say it was a fake.

I can imagine the people at the factory... "Hey Bob, do you still remember how to make a Super 20?" "Well, kinda... Hey Fred, how do we make a Super 20??" "Not sure... I think I have a picture here somewhere..."
So they started with a 613 body and bolted on S20-like keywork. It could be a great horn, but I doubt it.

Jason said it all.......I would keep my money in the pocket and ambush a better one, at least...... I am hoping to do just that some day soon! Way too expensive!

late super 20

That may be the highest serial number I have ever seen on a Super 20.

probably made the last day they were in business, just before they went home for the last time.

Should be one of those outsourced bodies with the drawn toneholes. Note the high-F#.

.......but wait! Did any of them actually ever have the high-F# key?

The shape of the bell flare doesn't look right, either. Could just be the angle, though.

 

[shmuelyosef]

...never seen one with a high F#

Could it be a Super 21 and someone tried to make it look like a Super 20? What a con job!

 

[milandro]

You Wish!

Milandro -

The S21 has a bad rap!

 

[milandro]

On the contrary........ the Super 21 is extremely rare looks completely different from the poor example which started all this and .....it it very valuable!
