  • 1914 is the year the automatic octave key was patented. That was imprinted on every saxophone for many years afterward.

  • @briansransom that is so cool, thank you

  • It probably wasn't made in 1914.If you look at the top stack,it looks like there is a front f key.And it looks like it has pearl finger buttons on the keys.Both of these features point to it being a tru-tone from about the 1920's or later.1914 is probaly the patent for the drawn straight tone holes.Conn used this patent as well on the Wonder improved models.

  • Thanks for info!

  • I got a Baritone from 1900, restored, nice to find them , isn' it? it's pure history . :)

  • I just love to restore them

  • hello, I'm Michael from Polish. I have a request. Write me what is the exact difference between the old American system as Buescher, a new French? I'll be very grateful for the help. Is it difficult? Is severely is to learn this system? Please write.

    Greetings

    Michael

  • Yet another True Tone saved! THANK YOU FOR THAT.

    I have the same horn. 1924-25 more like it. Restored it, repadded it. Now it's the best of my 4 altos. Impeccible craftsmanship and plays like it was built yesterday. Of course, I have a bit of a Buescher bias: 1 alto, 1 tenor, 2 C Melodys....

  • Old instruments are cool. You can almost feel the energy stored in them.

  • I love all instruments as well. Great find!

    Sending you a smile!
