Notes on this instrument
This was one of the first models I started to play saxophone on, and had to add one for the collection just because of sentimental value!
The lacquer on this particular saxophone is almost perfect. The instrument I played on in the 1980s was definitely not in good condition like the one you see now. A common issue with these horns was the deterioration of the lacquer due to them being student horns.
