Sound Sample

Disclaimer: I'm a mediocre player, but it's the best I can do to give you an idea of how good the instrument sounds.

Tenor-style neck, silver-plated body, as seen from the right side. This horn has
a range of low Bb to high F.


Sax comes with hard foam Gator case with custom
hard foam insert to fit the C-mel exactly. We'll
include the swab shown as well.


Also included is an Aquilasax MetalPro wide-body mouthpiece with a 7 tip
opening. I use standard tenor reeds with no problems. This mouthpiece
gives this horn a bright and gutsy sound.


A shot of the bell showing the beautiful ornate engraving that was common in the 1920s.


Serial number 83586, from about 1927.


The entire horn has been serviced and set up. It's been
completely repadded with Roo Pads. Very stick-resistant,
even on G#!


This horn has some miles on it, as you can see from the rebuilt guard over the
Eb key. On the photo of the neck you can also see the octave arm has been
brazed as well. The low B pinkie key is missing a pearl roller.
