Not my taste at all ... ;}

I am very interested in the method of construction and what parts are made of metal. If anyone could point me towards any literature on the grafton I would be very grateful.

Many Thanks

Dogs love them, they are better than Pedigree Denta Stix!

Grafton

Saw it, thought about it, then sobered up ))

I loved mine until it fell apart. In those days no one would look at it to repair it so it went to a plastic-ophile to decorate their loft.
Did buy a beautiful jazz guitar with the spoils.
Ho-hum

Well I have to confirm your probable thoughts of me, I am completely crazy and would love to own one of these, I think they are absolutely beautiful and were way ahead of their time when conceived and I am quite sure that a sax of similar construction will eventually reappear, perhaps of carbon fibre construction,and just think of that virtually indestructible,here's to the future.Didn't Pete(Thomas) start on one of these, I'm sure your rememberances would be greatly appreciated.....john
