Early 1900's Pahme El Schultheis NYC 'Adolphe Sax' Silver Engraved Alto Saxophone

This instrument came in to us from an elderly gentleman who played it in grade school in the 50's and kept it in his closet ever since. We sent it to our repair technician for a complete overhaul and it has a whole new lease on life! repair cost over $1000 but it came out amazing! plays fantastic and sounds incredible. Older style key system pre dates jazz so its more of a classical player. The sound is warm and easy playing. We are so glad this one came to us it was a true diamond in the rough and we are thrilled to be offering it!! see our youtube video    for more pictures and a short video of one of our staff members playing it. Engraving reads ‘Adolphe Sax Inventeur Des Saxophones Fournisseur de l’ Academie ?? De Musique 84 Rue Myrha? Paris’ Comes with the original mouthpiece which is in great shape and pairs beautifully with this horn. the case is the original and is pretty shot.

You might have a lot of horns but do you have one of these??? rarest of the rare

A true collectible piece any sax lover would love to have in their arsenal and it is 100% ready to go!! maybe just needs a new case :)
