Gautrot-Marquet

I acquired a 19th-century tenor saxophone due to its remarkable similarity to an Adolphe Sax instrument!

Notes on this instrument

I bought this instrument because of the striking resemblance with an Adolphe Sax instrument! This saxophone in a sense, is a symbol of the feud between Gautrot and Adolphe Sax. In 2020, my student Adrián Vilaboa restored this saxophone for me as a present.

About

I’ve spent years collecting, researching, and preserving saxophones, each with its own unique story. My goal with this website is to make this knowledge publicly available to saxophone lovers and  researchers alike. I hope you find as much joy in this collection as I have in creating it.
