I come across often these silversonic. Very often in extemely good conditions ( and one has to wonder why they are in such good conditions!).:bluewink:
I have had two not so good experiences with two altos of this series (one silversonic one regular S20) while I have tried two tenors (one silversonic) and they were not very different from my Eastlake tenor (despite the different neck).
Regardless, the market regards these late ( post Eastlake, they have only USA on the bell) S20 and Silversonic as being worth much less than a Cleveland or Eastlake.
Right or wrong this is what the market is at.
I have to say that I I were to find a Silversonic tenor of this series at a very good price I’d buy it.
In any case try it, if you like intonation and price, go for it.
