Here is a superb sax. It is a Gold Restoration with silver underneath. It is a #86,xxx and that alone comes with its own resume.

There is some minor pitting under the gold that I tried to capture in the worse possible view in some photos (back tube, thumb rest). But the sax is still overall absolutely gorgeous! There is no major damage to mention. Did you know that gold plating (just the dipping!) costs about $4,000 at cost back in 2015?! factor that in your value.

PADS: Good Tan pads with lots of life left (More info coming)

CASE: vintage hard case (More info coming)

(POSTING SOON) Gary, a previous owner, will be featured on a Sound File, picked this up in Paris while traveling as professional musician. Gary's expertise on the matter can be supported by his lifetime of playing professionally (1,000+ shows with Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Rod Stuart…etc). Gary's blessing in life: this was his Backup Horn. What?! Our blessing: it hadn't been out of the case much since. WWS sold this sax to collector, which it is now posted for sale for.  It was rebuilt/restored by Jay Sleigh of the San Diego, CA area in about 2003 and not played much since.
