Vintage 1899 Silver Plated King Valve Trombone in VG Condition Make an Offer
This King sliver plated valve trombone was made in about 1899 and it’s in very good condition. The plating has held up very well and is still bright and shiny. There are a few minor dents in the bell section and some evidence of soldering work in the tubing coming out of the third valve (see pictures), but otherwise we see no signs of any significant previous damage or repair work. This trombone presents really well, and doesn’t look anywhere near as old as it is. The original case shows wear but is structurally intact. One latch is broken, but the other latch and the center case lock work as they should. The handle has been replaced. The latches work well. There’s no serious damage to the wood, although the case certainly shows wear consistent with its age. All reasonable offers considered.

Vintage Buffet Silver Plated Apogee Model Alto Saxophone Free Ship! Make Offer
Featured here is an early Buffet French made Silver Plated Apogee Model Alto Sax. It’s a beautiful little alto that has been much loved throughout its 100 year Life!! Yes, this sax is an early 1920’s Buffet Apogee model sax that is stenciled MJ Kalashen. It has a beautiful tone and plays Excellent. It has unique features not duplicated by any other instrument builder which is the Apogee system. NOTE The left hand Pinky Keys function as any other sax. The Apogee keys are an additional method of fingering the notes. Also, Owing to the lack of Pearl Buttons I believe that this sax was produced some time before 1920 as that is when the pearl key touches were introduced. By this reasoning and the fact that Apogee production was abandoned in the early 20’s leads to the conclusion that this horn is over 100 years old. She’s been around quite awhile and the wear on the silver plate proves it’s worthiness as a solid player. The Apogee system includes 3 keys directly above the F and F# keys that allow the player to play the bottom notes – C#, B, and Bb, all without ever having to move the left hand pinky. The keys are very easy to play with the right hand middle finger which can be free to use when playing these low notes on this sax. For me, the left hand pinky is wayyy weaker than my right hand middle finger!! The sax was re-padded a couple years ago and it plays beautifully. The front F key is an innovation that is commonplace on all modern horns today. The D# trill key that is stacked on top of the D key is pretty slick and plays with excellent intonation. If you look at all of the pictures, you will see that the Apogee key work is incredibly innovative but people at the time were already set solid in the current saxophone keywork and it was decided that apogee keywork was not needed. Kinda dumb if you ask me. They front F is not part of the original saxophone fingering yet they exist on every modern horn. Look at the pics. With the Apogee system, The “Top” key plays a Bb. The middle key plays B, and the “Bottom” key plays C#. I seriously considered adding rollers to the Apogee keys to allow a simple flowing move from low C# to low Bb. I have decided to leave that to the new owner. It would be really easy to add rollers though. There is a minor flat spot on the bow of the sax – Look at the Pictures Please. Also, The music Lyre was removed from the sax but is included in the sale. This is a beautiful little Alto Sax for anyone. Altos, C Tenors and Bb Tenors. I don’t need them all and I have a little B Buescher alto that screams, a Buescher C Tenor that smokes and a Pan American Tenor that is on Fire!!! Please look at all of the pictures and feel free to ask questions. Included with the sax is a solid and well fitting Conn case, a neckstrap, and an old Selmer Goldentone mouthpiece.

Vintage 1920’s King H. N. White Silver Plated Alto Saxophone Make an Offer
White silver plated alto saxophone was made in the early 20’s according to its serial number (#797XX) and is in good structural condition. All of the keys move freely and we see no signs of any mechanical problems with this instrument. It does look like the lyre holder on the neck receiver has been resoldered at some point, but otherwise this horn shows no signs of any previous significant damage or repair. This horn has been polished and lacquered sometime in the past, so the dark spots on the body are where the lacquer has deteriorated and the silver plating has tarnished. These dark spots should polish up nicely, and are not an indication of any problems with the silver plating. The pads are old and we recommend that this saxophone be repadded to be put into good, playable condition. This saxophone would be an excellent candidate for restoration. The original case shows minor signs of interior and exterior wear, but it’s generally in very good condition. The handle, latches and hinges all work as they should. All reasonable offers considered.

For sale here is a Nice little Buescher Alto sax in silver plate that has been recently serviced including replacing a few pads and cork, one spring, oiled and regulated. The corked key on the rear has been properly set to function so the cork in the pic has been removed. It plays great on the remaining older set of pads. It has the serial number 181275 with a production date around 1926 Buescher Tru-Tones. The sax has a very nice silver plate finish that was not polished during the last servicing. If someone has the time and the energy, they could certainly make this horn sparkle!! Included in the sale is what I believe is original Buescher case that needs a handle and maybe some TLC if someone intended to use the case for travel.
