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.
Selmer ‘”Soloist Style” – E’ Alto, 1960/70s Long Scroll Shank – 0.078″ (Archived)
SOLD - Very rare, highly desirable "Soloist E". Made of excellent hard rubber, these mouthpieces have the horseshoe chamber and offer a clean, warm, vintage tone that can do many genres - that's probably helped the demand go up.
Yamaha ‘YAS-23’ Eb Alto, #368k (Archived)
SOLD - One of the gold standard saxes to start on. This one is in great condition and will last your young player a long time and get them started right.
Martin 1947 ‘The Martin Alto’ Eb Alto, #164k (Archived)
SOLD - In a clean original lacquer finish and only minor chair dings and dents to work back out. This is will be a ringer! It arrived in factory pads and felts (mostly!). I think this is cool to see.
B&S 2004 ‘Medusa – Series 2006’ Eb Alto, #016,430 (Archived)

Original Medusa case with multiple neck slots
Martin 1939 ‘Committee II- Lion & Crown’ Eb Alto, #135,58x (Archived)
SOLD - Here's another longtime favorite: Martin Comm II. It's in really good shape! These have a very strong build, known for good intonation, sweet-fat tones and all american Jazz core tone. The "Lion & Crown" engraving is crisp and beautiful, and you can see lots of the original lacquer over the nickel keys (common and expected)
Conn 1953 ‘6M’ Eb Alto, #356,2xx (Archived)
SOLD - A very pretty, clean 6M - Artist - "Naked Lady" Conn alto sax. One of the first Conn 6Ms without the microtuner in the neck (a good thing IMHO). Serial #356k, G# trill key and underslung octave. It has nicer pads that look like very low playing time.
