I have an Arta Guban Romanian alto sax for sale. It's in remarkably nice cosmetic condition mostly, but requires some attention as the upper register is playing about a semi tone out. It probably needs a service and certainly a new neck cork, which will put most of these things right with it. It does have its original red leather pads, which I guess are quite old. I considered making this in to a lamp, but feel it is just too wrong and it actually has some real potential. My first ever sax was an Arta Guban tenor and it had a lovely sound. It was very typical of those Eastern European saxes of the time. I'm moving and just don't have time to sort it. It has a good hard case with it. I'd like £100 and for this I will donate 5% to the sale and chuck in whatever extra bits I have for you. I'm not making any money but ideally need it out of the way. It's a lovely looking instrument and with all the saxes I have had over the years I know that anything wrong with it can be easily rectified. So if you had to spend £50 to make it play then you have a pretty nice alto at the end of it. I can post it and I will do so the most economic way possible for you via Hermes, which will be around £8.
