Vintage Holton Collegiate Silver Tenor Saxophone
$1495
A rare, very clean c.1941 vintage 'Collegiate' model Bb tenor saxophone made by Holton of the USA. This lesser known US sax maker turned out some solid and interesting horns from the mid 30's to the late 50's and I wish more people would try them! It is silver-plated brass, is in great condition for its age - no significant damage or repair - and has more modern key ergos than one would expect. in fact, it sounds and feels very much like their 241 model tenor!
Its been disassembled, cleaned, polished, swedged and countersunk (to tighten the mechanism) posts aligned, tone holes leveled, rods trued, all tan leather pads (with domed metal resos) installed, neck and key corks replaced, reassembled and adjusted for optimal play-ability. The horn is a really good player, with a warm, spread 'vintage American' tone, good intonation, and comfortable key work: would be a good horn for Jazz, Rock, Funk, Blues... I'm very pleased with the condition and play-ability of this saxophone! Comes with vintage case in clean, solid condition.
