Hi,
For sale is a B and S Soprano Saxophone I recently acquired,
The serial number suggests it was made around the 90's by guess, having taken information from the cybersax.com website where there currently two listed at $1400 each.
The serial is 5xxx and the one on cybersax.com is 3xxx which is dated as '75/'80, so im presuming here- I'd love to find out how old it actually is, but judging by the pictures on their website, it looks exactly the same (the lacquer with silver key work)
It has a very fine quality build about it, with no tarnish or scratches to the plating or visible dents, the previous owner must have looked after the sax well!
The only downside is one of the pillers that regulates the Bb key is slightly out of line which makes getting bottom Bb out a bit of a pain. This has also made the E slightly unresponsive. This can be easily mended by a local repairer, with a good clean up also I think you'd be on to a winner here... I have temporarily remedied the problem with a cable tie but am not confident enough to bend it back myself, best be left to an expert.
The pads are all intact and seal well, it has a wonderful tone about it even with the stock mouthpiece that came with it.
The reason im selling this Sop. is that I am a classical Clarinet player currently studying at Music College and need the funds to invest in a new pair of Clarinets. I also spend to much time playing Alto and Tenor Sax so the Sop has become un-used.
It comes supplied with a brand new TKL padded gig bag, perfect and lightweight for transporting it around, and a stock mouthpiece and metal Lig.
Photos can be sent on request and postage will be calculated or can be collected,
Cash on collection or payment via paypal. Cant really trust the post with cheques after a few mishaps before...
Although the price stated is £500, I am willing to accept a reasonable offer.
Although it's advertised elsewhere, if sold here a donation will be made to Pete.
Feel free to email me with any questions and thanks for looking!
Regards.
