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 are somewhat challenging to work on, but they are some of the only saxophones I have encountered that can even be considered in the same league as a Conn New Wonder I or II for fatness of tone, while also having a certain “French” color to the sound. Super fun to play.
