SOLD - Choose your rebuild! Original Lacquer even with the end plug. These are rare Pro horns, big ol' fat sound, unlike any other... With the right pad and reso setup in them, these can be the worlds best Bebop' tenors. The sound of the Magna is not much different than any other Committees, but they have a few mechanical changes.
Buffet 1974 ‘S-1’ Bb Tenor, SDA Transitional #22,3xx (Archived)
SOLD - A rare Buffet S-1 transitional with "Super Dynaction" on the body, and no [S-1] label on the bell. But make no mistake, it has all the S-1 components minus the high F#. 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 but lean towards the French sound.
Keilwerth 1949 ‘[New King] – “Silvertone”‘ Bb Tenor #21k (Archived)
SOLD - Vintage JK tone that is smokey and fills the room. It has rolled tone holes and the "JK Best in the World" stamp on the rear tube. It is mostly in the bare brass body from the lacquer falling off, and the nickel plated keywork is in great shape and strong as expected. There was no high F# on this model, like the next model Tone King. The former lucite pants guard was replaced with a metal guard.
Yamaha ‘YTS-52’ Bb Tenor, Intermediate Level, #005,006A (Archived)
SOLD - A pretty, intermediate sax to excel a student or adult! The serial number "A" indicates that it was assembling in the US Michigan plant which was known for producing great quality.
Buescher 1950 ‘Top Hat and Cane 400’ Bb Tenor, #334k (Archived)
SOLD - One of the sax world's favorite saxes - TH&C in original finish. #334k dates it to 1950. There's no need to sell this one. The report on this one is that due some bumps in the history, resolders and all, you can play this one with the intent to enjoy it.
Yamaha ‘YTS-475’ Bb Tenor, #252k(Archived)
SOLD - Yamaha's Intermediate, yet very high quality, saxes. This is the next generation from the YTS-52 model. Another pretty example, a well-loved sax that will advance any growing player--youth to adult. Original hard case included.
Martin 1963 ‘”Official Music Man Model”‘ Tenor, #218k (Archived)
SOLD - "Affordable Music Man" or a "Silver Restoration Candidate"! Serial #218k. There were also some bumps and repairs along the way - hey, at least she got played and repaired for the sake of music.
Holton 1922 ‘Elkhorn’ Bb Tenor, Silver #11k
SOLD - A collector's joy - The Frank Holton Company operated in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, USA. The serial numbers on the Holton saxes can be misleading online. For dating, note the Eb/C touch design shape, the thick neckstrap ring, the split bell keys... This sax also features:
--G# trill
--Eb3 trill
FINISH: Original silver plate, in excellent 90%+ condition
SOUND: Sweet, vintage, ... more to come here...
Original (near) 100 year old pads installed! WOW! They are the white leather with a stitch in the center (no rivets used yet). You can bet the tone is restricted, yet fit for the era. What a "collector piece". There is a vintage, musty smell than must be mentioned. I have yet to treat the case to help.
