WOW, I'm very impressed - you really know about saxophones, Brian!

Yep, it's a Buescher C-Melody sax (serial# 151808). I figure it's somewhere around 90 years old (original case, too). My great-uncle gave it to me when I started playing sax, back in 1965. It had just been sitting out in his garage for many years. We had to replace all the pads & cork, but it's been a great little instrument ever since. I've always enjoyed the tone of it & the fact that I don't have to transpose stuff; never understood why they stopped makin' 'em.

From your ID & knowledge, I'm guessing you play sax, too. What one(s) do you have?
