F. E. Olds Parisian Ambasador Tenor

Description

A vintage beauty! Made in Paris France, well over 50 years ago, this saxophone is in excellent condition. It was just overhauled, all new pads, corks, felts, etc. Keys were polished, regulated and it is fully setup and gig ready. New abalone key touches are a great complement to the patina brass finish. It is a beautiful looking saxophone that plays as new. A vintage French horn with a fresh rebuild and a French mouthpiece for under $1000, we don’t expect this one to stay here very long. Comes with case, Vandoren V-2 mouthpiece, ligature.
