Vintage Holton Revelation Eb Alto Saxophone
$925
A rare mid 1930's 'Revelation' model vintage Eb alto saxophone made by Holton of USA. These are wonderful, hand-made instruments - worthy competitors to Martin, Conn or Buescher - Holton was just not as well known for their saxes as their brasswinds. They have developed a growing following due to their quality and low price in comparison to better known vintage saxes. It has a number of attractive features for an instrument of this vintage: tuneable neck, bell keys on the same side, high F key and a G# trill, no forked Eb! It is silver-plated brass, and is in great condition for its age!
Its been disassembled, cleaned, swedged and countersunk (to tighten the mechanism) posts aligned, tone holes leveled, rods trued, all new tan leather pads (with brown plastic resos) and key corks installed, reassembled and adjusted for optimal play-ability. Warm, spread 'vintage American' tone, good intonation, comfortable key work: I'm very pleased with the condition and play-ability of this saxophone! Comes with original case in good condition.
