I might be interested one day
it all depends on the price you’d sell it for.

For a sax like this, the only interested parties who would truly care for it and enjoy it the way you’d like based on what you’ve said

They're Probably are only collectors/players,
collector-player-repairers, or simply true enthusiasts.

People like @PigSquealer, myself, and many others would be the ideal buyers to ensure a good life for this exceptionally rare horn.

It might sound a bit presumptuous to put it that way
I don't know but I believe that only enthusiasts, collectors, and repairers (or the "winning combo" of someone who is all three) could truly appreciate the quality and rarity of this sax, considering both its build quality and its history—including the legend surrounding the "20-22" models and its mythical scarcity.

After that, it's Just my opinion, but it would be sad and not good thing if you sell at not musicien, and not enthousiaste who buy the horn just for business for exemple,

If you sell it, please choose the new proprietary who really played it, and love it.

That is just my personnal opinion,

For exemple, my Rampone and cazzani c melody, It had been thrown out at a waste collection center because it was unsellable and slated for destruction; I rescued this sax from the dump so it wouldn't get smashed to bits.

You shouldn't sell to people who are only interested in resale potential and who they won't care about tossing it in the trash if it turns out to be unsellable.

Your C melody are great rarity and great horn, great historic pièce of french manufacture (beaugnier),

It deserves to live a good life and be played with, all while being well cared for whether in your collection or with someone who truly appreciates it.

It's my personal opinion.
 
I very much doubt that a good C mel would be inherently out of tune, provided it's played with an appropriate mouthpiece . Back in the 20s, the American manufacturers were making sopranos altos C melodies and tenors to pretty much a common standard ( baritone and bass always lag behind).
 

Similar threads... or are they? Maybe not but they could be worth reading anyway 😀
