Dolnet 1940s ‘Series II’ Eb Alto, Silver Plated #24k (Archived)
Sound Files - 1940's Vintage, S/N 24,xxx Here's a great vintage alto all original silver plate. This alto comes from the mid 1940's. Dolnet is a great French made saxophone in production since the 1880's. Cosmetically, these are known for their hexagonal keyguards. I haven't had one in here for a couple years, these 40's models are nice heavy horns, stronger metal than the Bel air model, with a big Conn type sound, that is warm and fat
Conn 1941 ’30M – Connqueror’ Bb Tenor, #304,0xx (Archived)
Here's a great sax, built to play. Recently rebuilt from another top U.S. sax shop and set up to blow loud.
How about this: -Conn 30M tenor!!! coming soon! a "rocket ship player", goes 0-60 in ...BOOM! You all know how you can never take your pretty sax out to the gig, right? This is THE one. it's an ugly, relac, doorbustin', triple-barrel, head turnin' screamer. This one is made to play at the gig! please email me.
CASE: original red conn.
Oh My! I just played this one! I plan on a sound sample...SML Rev D, Conn 30M, and Selmer. I just saw one of these sell on ebay (needed everything) where this price is better considering the Pro Rebuild!
Buffet 1975 ‘S-1’ Bb Tenor, #23,9xx (Archived)
From Sarge's Collection: This rare Buffet S-1 looks and played absolutely great on arrival but the pads were a big mix bag of old and new ones. The whole horn is pretty clean and is original. we can see a few original acid bleeds (D key cup, C# post...), includes yamaha replacement case. Known for its well design, these heavy horns keep adjustment well and are very reliable, also excellent intonation and crazy gadgets on the Eb/C rocker, Low Bb table, High F#, & opt. F#--Highly over-engineered. The serial number is 23,9xx, which means it was made in 1975. the 70's model Buffets had a little more edge and some folks prefer them for that trait. The S-1 is actually quite brighter and bolder than the previous SDAs; so they're a cross between the Buffet SDA & a King Super 20. We decided to give it a French Standard rebuild with premium extras and put flat metal resos w/ rivet to match its original factory setup.
Buffet 1972 ‘Super Dynaction (SDA)’ Bb Tenor, #18,3xx w/ F# (Archived)
SOLD- EXCELLENT Original Lacquer is about 98% although there are some scratches (see pics)--Beautiful Speckled Lacquer version! There are no pings, dents, or major scratches to report. one, ONLY one post is dented into the body (C# tube saddle). These compare very favorably to the famed Selmer Mark VI, usually ranked #2. Known for its rich tone and smooth action it is a well designed heavy horn, it keeps it's adjustment well and is very reliable. The serial number is 18,3xx, which means it was made in 1972. the 70's models had a little more edge and some folks prefer them for that trait. Included is the original Buffet hard case which is still in excellent shape to match (except the loss of the main handle, hmmm)--side handle is intact. It will great a "French Standard" rebuild with flat metal resonators to mimic the original setup and natural cork throughout.
Buescher 1951 ‘Aristocrat III – “156” – Flower’ Bb Tenor, #340k (Archived)
Serial #340,000 (too cool not to list the full number) dates the sax to about 1951-52. This sax is Original Finish, and was a special sax that was repaired by the master, Sarge (WWS creator). It was given a Full Buescher Rebuild by Sarge and was not played much; it received Buescher metal-backed pads for a traditional rebuild and natural cork throughout. Only negative to mention is that one snap went missing in time (F3, too common). Consider the pads: "like new!" CASE: The original case is in great shape to match the shine of the sax. The sax will need minor tune-ups that I'll include in the price.
SOUND: warmth, sultry, very very close to the Big B(series II), just add a bit more treble tones in the clearness of tone.
SOLD One of the best bargain saxes!
