Vintage Kohlert Eb Alto Saxophone
$945
A rare mid/late 1950's vintage alto saxophone made by Kohlert of Germany. It is lacquered brass and is in great condition for its age, with a resoldered post, but no dents or dent repairs - nothing that materially impacts looks or playability. Lacquer is almost 100%, with cool oxidation, and it has rolled tone holes!
Its been disassembled, cleaned, swedged and countersunk (to tighten the mechanism) posts aligned, tone holes leveled, rods trued, all tan leather pads (with brown plastic resos) installed, and key corks replaced as needed, reassembled and adjusted for optimal play-ability. The horn is a really good player, with a full, slightly edgy tone, good intonation, and comfortable key work: would be a great horn for Jazz, Rock, Funk, Blues... I'm very pleased with the condition and play-ability of this saxophone! Comes with vintage case (possibly original) in clean, solid condition.
