Hi.
Ive only just signed up to this forum so forgive me if I make any errors. I've been playing a tenor YTS 275 for a year and although not great, really enjoy it! Just for the fun of stripping an old model down and possibly re-padding with shellac I bought a cheap silver alto in an old leather box with the label Boosey and Co, London. It looks 1930 ish. The sax has cleaned up quite nicely but the only markings I can find on it are the letters Y and A stamped on the right hand thumb support (see picture). I cant find any dreaded # or h or hoped for L marks nor anything on the Bell. Some of the key work looked similar to the thread 'Boosey & Co LTD Tenor Saxophone -Most unusual....' Any suggestions what it might be and from when most welcome. Its been well used. Thank you..! If the images dont work Ill try adding them in after!
