The sax is in excellent condition. Its a professional model made in the 1950s, with a fast, light action and great tone.
It was overhauled about 18 months ago - all corks and pads and felts sorted.

What is the serial number please ?

 

[Chalkandtalk]

Its 16325. I can photo it if you would like.

No thank you, I believe you. How did you calculate it's a1950's sax given the curious Pierret numbering sequence please ?

 

[Chalkandtalk]

There wasn’t a lot of calculation involved. There‘s some information here, but its still a guess. Could be early sixties, maybe.

it's quite late in the sequence for a 'poimbouef' style pierret, so i think chalkandtalk is right. if it IS a sequence. a picture of the neck receiver on the body would show something about the age - late models have a swollen look, rather like selmers, earlier/normal ones are straight, like SML, or most other things.

I thought I’d give this sax a run out today. Unfortunately, I have found something that needs to be repaired. So I must withdraw this from sale. Sorry.

 

[Chalkandtalk]

Just in case anyone is interested - I found a small joint that needs soldering. So I’m going to try and get this repaired quickly and hopefully get the sax back on sale.

 

[Chalkandtalk]

The joint has now been resoldered, and the sax has been checked over. All is well and so its offered for sale again. Thanks for your patience.

Any photos of the repair please ?

 

[Chalkandtalk]

Now withdrawn from sale.
