Notes on this instrument

This particular Grafton saxophone was made around the same time as Charlie Parker’s Grafton.

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.
