We’realways very interested in reviewing your saxophone here – especially if you have a soprano, C Melody or other stencil versions of our reviewed here.I intend to spend more time playin ghtis in future to see how it can be improved through better restoration. It is difficult to blow and has a poor ‘middly’ tone. It is clunky in comparison to many of the other saxophones I’ve played and is heavy and stodgy. Perhaps because I haven’t had this repadded, this doesn’t play very well. It is a thoroughly modern instrument with all lower keys on the right of the bell. In terms of design it is consistent with the baritone and alto versions also reviewed on this site, although the left hand ‘pinky’ cluster lacks many of the pearl coverings of the alto. Consequentially it has just about the worst finish of any saxophones I’ve ever seen. It has been well played, unfortunately with gold paint applied to the worn lacquer many years ago. It was made by Kohlert – not made by Keilwerth, Amati or Karl Meyer. As always I’m interested in unusual vinatage instruments and this fits the description well. He had recently sold me the alto version of this and knew I would be interested. I bought this tenor from my friend Tony at Maggini Supplies a few years ago.
