A collector\'s joy - The Frank Holton Company operated in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, USA. The serial numbers on the Holton saxes can be misleading online. For dating, note the Eb/C touch design shape, the thick neckstrap ring, the split bell keys... This sax also features:
--G# trill
--Eb3 trill
FINISH:Original silver plate, in excellent 90%+ condition
SOUND: Sweet, vintage, ...more to come here...
Original (near) 100 year old pads installed! WOW! They are the white leather with a stitch in the center (no rivets used yet). You can bet the tone is restricted, yet fit for the era. What a \"collector piece\". There is a vintage, musty smell than must be mentioned. I have yet to treat the case with any chemical, that would be my best attempt to help remove some odor; it must be addressed for daily use.
CASE: Currently in a vintage Martin Handcraft hard case.
As always, ASK QUESTIONS, ASK QUESTIONS, ASK QUESTIONS!
Thanks, Chadd
