My very first pro model sax was an all lacquer,\u00a0late model, King Super 20 tenor. I only had it for a couple of years, when I had the opportunity to buy the Selmer Mark VI that I still own, and play as my main tenor.<\/p>\n

I liked my King, and to this day I regret having had to sell it in order to get the VI. Worst part of all is, I don’t have any pictures of it. \ud83d\ude41 The only thing I have to remember the horn by is the original case, and a case cover. My Selmer has lived in that Super 20 case for over 20 years now. I don’t know why I ever sold a horn without the original case, but whatever…<\/p>\n

The other day, a member of the Woodwind Forum<\/a> posted a link to a website<\/a> that is owned by a member of the\u00a0White family. I had not seen the site before,\u00a0and\u00a0in the words of the\u00a0site owner<\/a>:<\/p>\n

When I started making this web site, my purpose was rather simple in that I wanted to tell the H. N. White story. Like many things in life, the purpose has evolved. After searching the Internet, I found that most web sites are designed with the highest quality but lacked depth. These web sites focused around either large collections of instruments or artists with little or no mention of what brand of instrument they played or the people who made the instruments. My goal is to develop hnwhite.com around three basic ideas. First, is to document the H. N. White Company history and be a resource of information. Second, is to tie famous artists to the instruments they played. And finally, to visually share a number of instruments that I have preserved for the sake of history. As with anything in life, there is always room for improvement and refinement. If the web site does not meet all of your expectations, please offer your suggestions for improvement.<\/p>\n

This the only<\/em> website developed and maintained by the H. N. White family.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

www.hnwhite.com<\/a> is an enormous site, and new content is added weekly.<\/p>\n

The saxophone section<\/a> of the site provides a comprehensive walk-through of the\u00a0models of\u00a0King saxes, descriptions, serial numbers,\u00a0and\u00a0a nice sampling\u00a0of\u00a0vintage ads from old catalogues.<\/p>\n

If you have an interest in vintage King horns,\u00a0you\u00a0owe it to yourself to check out\u00a0the site.\u00a0(Actually I’m\u00a0rather embarrassed that I wasn’t aware of it.) \ud83d\ude33 It is a really great resource,\u00a0that\u00a0is a valuable piece\u00a0of history in the evolution of\u00a0musical instruments in the 20th century.<\/p>\n
