    Description

    Offered here for your consideration is a vintage Olds Parisian tenor saxophone in very nice condition.  The body of this horn is very straight, no dents and if there are any dings they are very minor.  The pads on this sax look fairly new.  The only thing I'm aware this horn needs besides a general tune-up is the tenon feels slightly flared at the very end. I believe this is about a repair.  The finish on this horn is sparkly, I don't know of a better word to use. It may just be crazing, but it's still kind of cool.  You can also see the horn has taken on a darkish patina over the years, which I like.   I can't find a serial number on it, but I understand this is a known phenomenon with some Olds Parisians.  I believe it dates to the 1950s.
    The case is not in bad shape, but not great either. One of the latches has no spring left in it at all and it's got some issues at one end with the trim stitching coming loose. There are other cosmetic issues as well, but overall I would say the case is in good condition. This is one of those that has a handle at one end. Gotta love the fake alligator!
    If you have any questions please feel free to ask, and thanks for looking!
