The Andreas van Zoelen collection 

Kessels

This instrument is one of the basic model soprano saxophones that the Kessel’s factory had to offer. Compared to my other soprano in the collection, that was made in 1905, was a little more complex and meant for soloists.

Notes on this instrument

Also note the original case! By the look of the instrument and the mouthpiece, this saxophone was played a lot, and kept in good condition by its owner.

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.
