Hiya, I wondered if there is an expert out there who can advise me on the above! I have seen a nice looking nickel plated alto sax on ebay for £100. It is labelled only as 'Lincoln' and nothing else. It doesn't look Chinese but slightly vintage (70's) and I wondered if anyone knew where these saxes are made? I'm looking for a cheap alto but don't want an old Chinese horn cos it's likely to be a pile of toot! The key guards look quite nice, a bit like the b&m champion saxes and the brass looks to be fairly thick too. The bell is also offset at an angle to the left which makes the sax look more compact and the bell brace is straight like the older vintage horns. (Hope I've got my terminology right here) It's a bit of a risk because £100 is £100 to me and I don't want to waste it on a rubbish sax! Which is why i'm hoping someone may be able to give me an answer over the next few hours if possible!
Many thanks and most appreciated
