Vintage Kohlert 'Road Warrior' Eb Alto Saxophone
$795
A rare mid/late 1950's vintage alto saxophone made by Kohlert of Czechoslovakia. It is lacquered brass and is in great condition for its age, with no dents or repairs - nothing that materially impacts looks or playability. Lacquer is about 30%, with really cool oxidation, and it has rolled tone holes! I wanted this the minute I saw it as I knew it would be a great sax for someone wanting a 'Road Warrior' instead of a shiny new horn.
Its been disassembled, cleaned, chem dipped, swedged and countersunk (to tighten the mechanism) posts aligned, tone holes leveled, rods trued, all tan leather pads (with brown plastic resos) installed, key corks/felts replaced, reassembled and adjusted for optimal play-ability. The horn is a really good player, with a full, slightly gritty 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 in clean, solid condition.
