Saxophones Dolnet Alto saxes

BTW, Melissa, nice website.

Milandro, despite his serious issues about materialistic matters in saxophone materials, is probably the best authority in less known saxophone brands.
Sometimes he will try to scare you with stories about high pitch instruments, but it is just his taste for gory tales.

Is it just me who thinks that Dolnet sounds like a Web forum for collectors of vintage childrens figurines ?

....... but then Elkhart sounds like something the Beverly Hillbillies would serve along side grits, possum belly and hog jowls and we all know that Selmer were named after one of Marge Simpson's rather dodgy elder sisters .

I struggled to describe the word "Doll" so vintage childrens figurines was as close as I could get without actually using the word Doll .

I have another for Milandro shortly, wondering if he or anyone can decipher something engraved upon a on a bell.

La Clete, La Lete? with "Professional" underneath..... it is actually a JK tone/new king with the brass wing guards, JK stamp under thumbrest.

I have one of them high pitched instruments .. You have to have one!

That must be the one I like. Albert?

 

[Melissa]

At the moment it seems like a high pitch- Albert Conn, but It could be in C?! The tenon needs replacing to get a better judge.
I believe I also have a high pitch Sop, made C1887.

I take it you mean refined French people, otherwise we`d be all catching fish in Nays, hanging Nay curtains, working out tax from Nay earnings (which would be hard as nay = no) and wearing fishnay stockings LOL ...

I don’t suppose that I could benefit from at least one picture to solve the riddle?

Thanks for the appreciation Melissa (well, aside from Aldevis’s criticism to not being of the vibrationalist persuasion, I am a Materialist though but an Historic one! )

La Sate Professional? Never Heard of this stencil.

Unfortunately I cannot read the first letter (S?) with any degree of certainty But I don’t think it matters too much.

As you wrote, this is a Keilwerth. I’ve sold an alto (well, almost immaculate looking, really) like this to a member here.

not being of the vibrationalist persuasion

Future historians may write of you as the founder of a new forward-thinking 'vibratioclast' movement.

I hope so.


In the The Netherlands we have a “ League against Quackery “ which is principally aimed at fighting all sorts of para-medical mumbo jumbo. Could be extended to other forms of superstitions too.
