Listed here is what I believe to be a 1926 York Grand Rapids Tenor Saxophone Serial Number 84932. It is silver plated, tarnished, and the play-ability of this instrument is unknown. The side that faces up from its case is tarnished, though the other side is far less tarnished, suggesting it may not have been in use for many years. The case that it is housed in is a M. Kalashen case, which I’m pretty sure originally housed an entirely different saxophone back in the day. This mouthpiece takes the place of the original one, though the owners kept the original silver plated protective casing for this mouthpiece. The carrying case is in beaten but functional condition, with the surface of the case flaking apart. Although I believe this saxophone is a tenor, it does have the length (24 inches) and weight (5 pounds, 3 ounces) of an Alto. In addition, I was also told by somebody that it is a melody, but I don’t know enough to know who to believe, if I’m being perfectly honest. I do not know enough about saxophones to make a definitive classification. It looks like a part on the neck of the saxophone is missing, but I’m not sure. Any failure of disclosures of condition problems is from a lack of knowledge of actual problems present on this piece. After all, I was informed that this saxophone will probably need some machining and or other fine work to be properly played again. If you have any questions about this instrument, and you probably do, I would highly suggest asking me questions. If you see any glaring errors in this description or things I should know, feel free to tell me about that too.
