Estate sale finds: The story as told by the older gentlemen was his father was a Jazz Musician, and this piece has been stored away in its case for years. His father traveled to many places playing in different Jazz bands.
Can only imagine the stories this piece could tell
________________________________________________________
The instrument shows wear of many years of being played.
Original, Unrestored condition. Expected need for standard professional servicing due to use and long-term storage (cleaning, lubrication corks/felts) There is some pitting on the piece. Case is in good condition with a little musty smell to it.
I have listed everything I could in hope it would help identify the piece.
A very unique antique piece to add to your collection.
