SOLD - A great sax with 1-year warranty! - I looked at the serial number an read "UFO..."; It must be out of this world! Great Ergos, high F# key, nice new case. Made in Taiwan, These have fast action and you'll love it over most any student sax. The neck is original and silver with this model and is credited with a crisper, clearer presence in the tone.
Conn 1930 ‘New Wonder II – “Chu Berry”‘ Eb Alto, Gold #234k(Archived)
SOLD - Custom Rebuild with Brown Chocolate Kangaroo Pads, and Gold plated (over silver) customĀ over-oversized Resotech resos (Flat, with matte spun finish). ***THIS IS A LOUD ALTO SAX!*** Ser.# m234,xxx dates to 1930. Excellent condition "Chu" with nailfile G#, rolled tone holes, tuning neck, Goldwash bell, everything we love. Original gold plate and Satin gold highlights model, in very nice overall condition. Now, if you've never played a Chu, they are stunningly powerful altos...big fat sound top to bottom. Ergos are not that great, but I know a lot of players that play them in spite of the 20's design and would never switch to a Selmer. I will repad it, with a Conn-style, french standard repad. Pairing an original old Conn case to go with it.

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. Ā "...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 orĀ ItalianĀ horn.Ā Intonation tends to be quite good."
Buescher 1955 ‘Aristocrat IV – 157’ Bb Tenor, #356k(Archived)
SOLD - (SOUND FILES) Cousin to the Top Hat & Cane, I would label these "Model: 400, series III". Get a TH&C tone for 60% less cost! I consider these to be some ofĀ the best bargain/undervalued saxes in the market. You get the engineering designs of previous 400 models with a few changes to neck braces, octave triggers, guard designs, no silver bell ring(underside), but the big bell and 400 rear bell keys.
Conn 1955 ’10M’ Bb Tenor, #566k (Archived)
SOLD - Sound File - A rare beauty! A beautiful example here of what some might call the "last of the real 10Ms" before the Mexico era. An affordable 10M - Comes with a custom built case is great condition. This sax was adult owned, last owner was Owner #3. As I inspected it, I saw about two small dings/dents in the history and one ping. Comes inquire to be owner #4!

SOLD - SOUND FILE - A beautiful "The Martin Tenor", with an early serial number (matching neck #), and many original features present: brown felt... 98% original lacquer in excellent condition. I am biased and I love these, especially the early serial number ones (darker tone).
Martin 1955 ‘The Martin Baritone’ Eb Baritone, #196k (Archived)
