Evette Schaefer by Buffet Tenor 1935-39 - Gold and silver

The 1930's Evette Schaefer by Buffet tenor saxophone is a rare and highly sought after vintage musical instrument from the pre-war Powell era in Paris. The Buffet brand is known for its quality and durability serial number 34678 puts this as being made in the Buffet shop, unlike later Evette horns.. stencils made in Italy. This shares design, sound and characteristics of the Buffet Super Dynaction, same shop, same builders. Functional, and in very good shape, with the exception of a few dings and scratches. The worst of which is two dents by the left hand pinky keys, one by the serial number, and a couple scratches inside the bell. Which are all the places with lacquer loss. (Last 3 pictures)<br>Case , neck and mouthpiece included. Ligature is missing a thumb screw. Case has seen better days, and has musty odor.
