Buy this VINTAGE PONTE ARTIST STRAIGHT SOPRANO SAXOPHONE SAXOPHONE + CASE 

Serial number: 7101 wE TOOK A CLOSE UP-IT'S KIND OF HARD TO READ.

WE HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS MAKER. WE DID SOME READING AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING:

"The Ponte was made for Charlie Ponte, who had a wonderful music store in NYC on "music row" -- 46th Street between 6th and 7th Avenue. He finagled the concession to supply all the woodwind instruments for the band for the New York World's Fair and had an Italian company -- probably Orsi -- make stencils in all sizes with his name on them. "

LACQUER HAS SOME WEAR AND SCUFFS, AS PICTURED.

PADS LOOK PRETTY OLD AND WORN.

EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE MOVING PROPERLY ON THE HORN, BUT PLEASE NOTE IT HAS NOT BEEN PLAY TESTED.

NO MOUTHPIECE...IT LOOKS LIKE IT NEEDS NEW CORK-THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS IT WRAPPED, AS PICTURED.

COMES IN HARD PROTECTIVE CASE-THE HANDLE IS MISSING AND IT NEEDS A GOOD CLEANING.

FLAT RATE SHIPPING OF $35 WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES ONLY.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING THROUGH THE EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM.

Please look carefully at each picture...as photos speak a thousand words!
