Kolhert 1957 ‘Model 57’ Eb Alto, #35k (Archived)

SOLD - A rarer sax from the pinnacle of the Kolhert factory. Model 57 is considered their best sax.  "...They just sound really, really good. They are much like a vintage Keilwerth, although a bit 'edgier' than a Keilwerth; and a bit more 'aggressive' and 'wider' in tone than a French or Italian horn. Intonation tends to be quite good."

Armstrong ‘Model 3000’ Eb Alto, #7,2xx

SOLD - Another starter sax with decent ergos, good metal, and a lineage of Keilwerth parts. This sax looks like the old Couf parts (my 1970s pro sax.) Gold lacquer, nickel keys. No high F# key, Cosmetic condition: 6.0. I expect it to have a great sound that would rival and new sax.
