SML “Le Strama” Rev. B Alto Saxophone (like Coleman Hawkins Special)
SOLD Early SML alto with left hand bell keys, says “Le Strama” on the bell. Looks nearly exactly like the horn they used to make the early “Coleman Hawkins Special” alto- I say nearly exactly because I cannot be certain it is exactly the same, but I do not see any differences myself. These horns …
1929 Conn New Wonder II Alto Saxophone
This is a Conn New Wonder Series II alto saxophone in original silver plate, currently very old pads (probably from the 40s or so) and scheduled for a full overhaul, which is included in the price.

The open source saxophone project ended up being mostly me doing it (although I had some fantastic help with the pivot screw stuff) and it seemed dumb and felt like extra work maintaining two different websites. So I have added everything that was once on the Open Source Saxophone Project to this website, under Sax …
Vintage Orsi Contrabass
Well, when I was building a repair shop out of a 31 foot Airstream trailer, I have to admit I did not think of contrabass saxophones. I can comfortably work on everything up to baritone without any issues, and even basses are accounted for by moving my torch holder a foot to the right. Dentwork …
