Saxophones for sale from the SAX DEPOT

Fraser`s SAXOPHONE Blog. 416 994 7110

NEW ARRIVAL !

Curious and happy to receive a new to me Kohlert Tenor sax, made about 1959. These are powerful horns with rolled toneholes great for rock and roll since the sound cuts through the other instruments. I had one of these before that was not very good condition but was fantastic to play -- so much fun with its great tone and versatility. This one is much better with a good finish and new pads. Lucky will be the owner of this one !  The previous one belongs to a client who is a pro with a MKVI that I overhauled but he much prefers the Kohlert on his gigs (also overhauled by me) -- they are just that good !!

Ready for sale, ready for gig !
