A sleeper sax with good pads - Balance this for price and needs, it has vintage tone with budget saving options. Articulated G#--adjustable ON/OFF, front F, no pants guard, added 2nd neck strap ring(TBD)... 

I believe this is a Series I Monopole; some rare later exampled even had high F#. It had rolled tone holed and the double socket neck. All the screws for the key guards are even present!

PADS:  Done elsewhere, all are new, tan pads with modern metal (slight)dome with rivet. These need adjusted and WWS will do that.

FINISH: The lacquer finish at 70%.

CASE: SKB molded hard case.

SOUND: ....TBD
