**Rare 1956 Ida Maria Grassi “Jade Roller” Vintage Tenor Saxophone**

For sale is a **1956 Ida Maria Grassi Jade Roller tenor saxophone**, a fantastic example of a vintage Italian-made saxophone with plenty of character and history.

I am selling as I have been keeping it as my back up horn for a few years and it's a real shame that it isn't being played and appreciated.

This is a genuine **1950s Grassi Jade Roller**, and is an excellent opportunity for a player or collector looking for something a little different from the more commonly seen American vintage saxophones.
