    Description

    THIS IS A SILVERTONE ALTO SAX. STENCIL HORN SOLD BY SEARS.
    I WOULD SAY IT'S A STENCIL BUSCHER BUT IT HAS A TYPE OF TONE HOLES I HAVE SEEN ON KINGS OR MARTINS, THEY DON'T APPEAR TO BE  DRAWN TONE HOLES MORE LIKE ROLLED.
    REAL NICE SOUND IT HAS SAME VINTAGE SOUND AS THE BUSCHER'S FROM THE 40'S.
    TWO THINGS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED ON THE SAX
    1. ADDED A NEWER TYPE OF ERGONOMIC THUMB REST, THIS MAKES HORN VERY COMFORTABLE TO PLAY. IF YOU HAVE EVER PLAYED AN OLDER HORN WITH THOSE THIN SMALL THUMB RESTS YOU'LL KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
    2. HORN NOW HAS ARTICULATED G# KEY. MEANING YOU CAN PLAY A G# WITH ANY OF THE LEFT HAND PINKY KEYS.
    THERE ARE PROTEC RUBBER PALM KEY RISERS ON THE HORN BUT THEY EASILY SLIP OFF.
    LACQUER IS 95% SEE PHOTOS
    THERE ARE SOME VERY MINOR SCRATCHES BUT NO DENTS
    PADS ARE GOOD
    PEARLS FEEL BRAND NEW WHICH TELLS ME HORN HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED MUCH.
    I DON'T HAVE A CASE FOR THE SAX BUT I WILL PACK SAFELY.
    GREAT HORN VERY NICE SOUND.
    NO MOUTHPIECE.COMES WITH ORIGINAL END PLUG.
    LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR IF YOU WANT MORE PHOTOS.
