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."
Jupiter ‘JAS-769’ Eb Alto, #G16k (Archived)
SOLD - I like these as a good "all round" starter sax (one of a few that meet this). Great Ergos, it has the high F# key, nice original hard case. Made in Taiwan, Gold lacquer, nickel keys.
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.
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)
SOLD - Factory New - This is THE example of all the great German saxes that we've learned to love and respect - think also of the Dave Guardala DG500 models, but with the next tier of improvements!: G# lifter; Screw adjustments on the lower stack; *no adjustable palm keys on this example. 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)
