For Sale - Corton Tenor Sax . Amati made version , dunno when from (80s?) this is in beautiful playing order, it`s definately been serviced at some point as it handles smooth and far better than you`d expect an 80s Czech made "student" tenor to handle (Shames many a newer chinese horn) .
the sound is very open and it`s got good dynamics, it`s a light horn too with good tough keywork . Cosmetically I`d describe it as "Average for age" (IE on the tatty side) but it`s in far better nick than my Yamaha 21 Alto . Yup there are dings (the neck more than the horn) but it`s a player not an ornament and an ideal kickabout for the Pubbing Prom it did me great with the Christmans caroling ! .. BTW it has an American styled non-tilting LH table
It comes with the Original case which is borderline servicable but has part of one catch missing , an Unlabelled but tough resin mouthpiece with an oddball plastic (Honest) ligature on but I`m sure you`ll use your own piece anyway , includes a thin strap which looks more at home on a Sop (it was in the case so leaving it in with it) ..
Asking £200 - 5% to the Cause of course . I`d not be selling this but I Happened across a Semi-Pro Jupiter which needs a bit of work (an is off to Connollys) so my Rat Tenor gets an upgrade and this gets moved on .
Pics at this link including details of the damaged case catch (I`m sure a suitcase one could be fitted)
