FOR SALE: TENOR SAXOPHONE

[AllenLowe]

I switched from tenor to alto about 5 years ago, and now really prefer the smaller horn. I also like my C Melody, and I am finished with tenor, just don't want to play it any more.

My tenor is an interesting one: A Parisian Olds Ambassador, known in the trade as a stencil horn; basically this means that it was made by one manufacturer, and then a different company put its name on it. In this case the original company was Martin, and this is essentially a 1940s Martin tenor; it plays and sounds like one, which is a good thing, because it blows easy, has nice action, and has a beautiful, large, dark sound. I used it for a few cuts on my upcoming CD, but have decided to let it go. I am told it is original lacquer, and it is in excellent cosmetic shape. It also plays extremely well throughout the range of the horn.

prior to ebay, I figured I'd see if there was any interest here - cost is $500 plus shipping; I am firm on that, because it's an excellent price for a horn that's ready to play. I prefer a US sale, but will ship overseas if we can insure it and figure out cost. Domestically I will ship Fedex Ground fully insured -

excellent price, if i didn't already own too many sax I'd definitely consider it.

Just curious, what type of setup did you play with that horn?

Those old Martins were good horns and that's a good price. Somebody's going to get a good deal & hopefully the horn will go to a good home!

Don't worry, it really plays. Says so right on the box.
