What we are currently working on.

This is an F.E.Olds Parisian Ambassador tenor sax. It was made in Paris well over 50 years ago. It is raw brass, no lacquer and has an amazing vintage horn patina. The keys are made of solid nickel, most horns use brass keys that have been nickel plated. The nickel plating wears off with extended use. Also, they can’t be buffed or polished, again it will wear off the plating leaving the brass showing through. This horn’s keys, being solid nickel, can be buffed. We are polishing keys on this horn now. Many hours will go into this process, but the keys will look like new!

We are very excited about this saxophone. The patina is amazing, the keys will look like new and it is receiving a complete overhaul, so it will play as a new horn. New pads, corks, felts, etc. and setup to be gig ready. Watch for it in the coming weeks.
