USED, RARE MADE IN ITALY EVETTE SCHAEFFER ALTO SAXOPHONE

Description

UP FOR AUCTION IS A EVETTE SCHAEFFER ALTO SAXOPHONE. THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE SAXOPHONE IS 41340. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON TO PLAY THE SAXOPHONE. IT WAS BOUGHT NEW AND I STOPPED PLAYING IT AROUND 1972. I PLAYED IT FOR 3 YEARS. I WENT TO THE LOCAL MUSIC STORE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND TELL ME WHAT CONDITION AND PRICE I COULD GET. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS IN REALY GREAT CONDITION. THEY SAID THAT ONE PAD, THE ONE THEY CALL THE DRIP PAD, SHOULD BE REPLACED AND THE REST OF THE SAXOPHONE TUNED UP. THEY SAID IT DIDN'T NEED MUCH WORK DONE TO IT. JUST MINOR ADJUSTMENTS. I TOOK A CLOSEUP OF THE VALVE PAD THAT I WAS TOLD SHOULD BE REPLACED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REST OF THE PADS WERE IN GREAT SHAPE. THE ONE THING THAT THE GUY AT THE STORE WAS EXCITED TO SEE IS THAT THE SAXAPHONE WAS MADE IN ITALY. HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD ONLY SEEN ONE BEFORE. HE TOLD ME THAT THE EVETTE SCHAEFFER SAXOPHONE IS SUPPOSED TO BE MADE IN FRANCE ON MY PARTICULAR SAXOPHONE, BUT A FEW WERE MADE IN ITALY. HE PLAYED IT IN THE STORE AND TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PAD AND TUNE IT UP. I TRIED FINDING MORE INFORMATION ON LINE BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I AM GOING BY WHAT THE MUSIC STORE TOLD ME SINCE I HAD NO IDEA. I ALSO JUST TOOK IT TO A BUDDY OF MY FRIEND WHO IS IN THE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT BUSINESS. HE TOLD ME THAT IN THE CONDITION ITS IN I WOULD BE LOOKING AT AROUND 0-1000 TO THE RIGHT BUYER. DO SOME LOOKING UP ON THIS SAXAPHONE.
