This neat little SBA alto, serial #36,108,
came to us from a gentleman of years in Idaho. He has made a
very successful career restoring pianos of all makes and sizes
but has kept up his love of the saxophone. On this very horn he
performed his Masters Recital when the instrument was new. Now,
like all his horns (we've bought several) it shows what can
happen when a saxophone is lovingly cared for all its life by a
person of professional demeanor.
This little lovely has
just had a complete overhaul by Jack Finucane in Boston and Jack
does the most detailed overhaul I've ever seen. He completely
levels all the tone holes and cups, trues up the action. He then
uses Teflon®,
suede and a cool suede/felt sandwich to eliminate action noise.
The level tone holes allow the use of a slightly harder pad felt
resulting in an incredibly fast action with total sealing. This
is one fine overhaul and Jack is becoming well known for his
talent. He certainly transformed this little lady into a
fantastic playing horn.
A firm favorite of modern alto jazzmen, Lee
Konitz plays an SBA alto, the tone and presence of the Super
Balanced Alto has always, since its inception, been in demand.
Now you can have one that comes about as close to a new one as
there is out there. My suggestion: Don't let it get away.
All our horns now ship in a ProTec style, zipper
closure, hard sided, foam
case
unless otherwise instructed. We recommend this case very highly
and we love to ship in them because then we are
confident there will be no damage.
However, if you feel that you want an original, period trunk case, we have them
available at no additional charge.
Have a look at these cases at:
CASES or
from the Home page under
Accessories.
