What do you, as a professional saxophonist, think of the H.N. White King Voll True 1930 Alto Sax i plan on getting? How is it as far as being used for straight jazz music only.
That's a great question, and I will happily give you my answer as a saxophonist and technician. The Voll True is a rich-sounding saxophone, with great response. It easilly approaches parity with the Zepher and the Super 20 series. The issue you want to watch for on the Voll-True is the design of the G# mechanism. Those who have the G# tone hole on the 'back' of the horn are limited to a 'closed pad-height' kind of setup. So search for a conventionally built 1.
Could I by any chance get the changes to this tune? I'm really diggin' it.

Is that song called "straight ahead"?

What saxophone was he playing on and what year, perhaps a buescher?

@TheCzarofussr :
You are correct Czarofssrr!
Its a Buescher Aristocrat 140. 1949. It came from an estate sale and I bought it an resurrected it.
Finished tone-holes, shellacked precision pads retaining original snap-in resonators. Super original horn. Still plays great!
