One of the holy grails of saxophones, getting more rare and appreciating in value. Appreciated especially in the Jazz community.

FULL PEARLS (one replaced with something else, possibly Bakelite?)

-Matching Serial of 3009XX on both body and silver neck, guides put this in the Series 1, Series 1 transitional and the year 1949.

-Beautiful Patina and minor imperfections that comes from being played and the age, refer to the pictures. As to be expected from an instrument of this vintage and jostling from shipping, it may be possible that some tuning/adjustments may be necessary to get it set up to your playing preferences. This was not a display queen, it was a player! Obviously used and enjoyed for years and then sat in storage for unknown amount of time afterwards.

-Cleveland made

-includes King Cleveland hard case and extras as shown (handle in need of repair) .

Local purchase preferred, but will ship. Shipped via ground service fully insured for purchase price.

Asking $4250 or best offer. Cash, Venmo, or Cashiers check at bank. Can meet at police station, bank, or music store for safety/security of all involved. One of the grail saxophones, prices on these are just going to continue to increase.

Obvious scammers and low ballers will be ignored.

If this doesn’t sell on here quickly I will send it to my preferred Sax shop out of state on consignment where the price would be a few grand more. If you’re serious about purchasing it and want to discuss a full overhaul by one of the best sax technicians in the US it can be arranged as part of the purchase.
