King Tempo 365 Eb Alto Saxophone — New Old Stock
The King Tempo 365 is a standout student alto saxophone, engineered by Conn-Selmer to provide a reliable, high-performance foundation for the developing player. While the King name carries over 130 years of American brass heritage, the Tempo 365 is a modern workhorse designed for the ergonomic and tonal needs of today’s school ensembles and jazz bands.
Why "New Old Stock" Matters
This instrument is New Old Stock (NOS)—it has remained in secure storage since it left the factory and has never been sold or played. For the discerning buyer, this offers a unique "time capsule" opportunity: you receive a brand-new instrument with its full original accessory kit, but at a price significantly below current retail for a comparable student model.
Key Features
• Modern Ergonomics: The key layout is designed for comfort and agility, mirroring professional setups to ensure a smooth transition for students as they progress to advanced horns.
• Extended Range: Includes a high F# key, a standard requirement for modern school repertoire that is often missing from older vintage student models.
• Rich Tonal Core: Built with a gold-lacquered yellow brass body, the 365 produces a warm, open, and resonant tone that blends perfectly in concert bands while offering enough "zip" for lead alto roles in jazz.
