Alto - MAINE SAXES ~ ADAM MONTMINY

1939 King zephyr special, full pearls, sterling neck, original lacquer, maine saxes overhaul, new protec case - $3950

Wow! What an incredibly stunning instrument! The Zephyr Special is very rare and hard to find in this kind of condition. This was a premium transitional model that came right before the introduction of the Super 20 and has many of the same features as the first generation Super 20 such as the sterling silver neck, double socket neck joint, full pearls on all side keys, palm keys, G#, and side F#, gorgeous engraving on the bell keys and low Eb. The triple strap ring is a very cool touch as it allows the player to adjust the angle of the hang to their personal preference. The finish is all original and is very hard to capture in photos because it tends to look quite different wherever you place it in the room so I tried to shoot it from many angles. It looks even better in person though. It's really quite impressive. The best part of this horn though is the fact that it plays like butter with super light and smooth action and a very lush and deep tone that's very easy to control. It subtones beautifully and really fills up the room perfectly. I did a complete overhaul so it plays like a dream and comes with a new Protec case.

1937 martin committee I - $950

This is the original Handcraft Committee. The body appears to have been relacquered but I think the keys are the original nickel plate. I'm selling this on consignment and it came to me in good playing condition with black kangaroo pads and flat nickel plated brass resonators. All I did was replace the neck cork and gave it a play test and it plays quite nicely and sounds awesome! This was my first time playing a series I Committee and I was kind of blown away by how good it sounded! It's very open and free-blowing with a very strong and sweet tone. The neck might be the biggest bore I've ever seen on an alto. I highly recommend trying this one!

1947 Conn 6M original lacquer - $1000 As-is, $2700 with overhaul

Here is an original lacquer 6M with rolled tone holes, micro-tuner, and G# trill key. It was re-padded somewhat recently by the previous owner who was into doing DIY repairs so it is currently playable but not great so I'm recommending a full overhaul to get it to 100% playing potential. Once overhauled, this will play as well as any great 6M with a big powerful full voice and excellent tuning and projection. I'm selling this on consignment otherwise I would have gone ahead and done the overhaul already myself but since I don't own this horn I'm giving you the option to buy it as-is or have me overhaul it.
