Travail en cours. Un Toneking Amati/Keilwerth ressorti de ma cave. Retamponnage partiel, mais gros nettoyage et debosselage sous un support de tringle. Un bel objet avec cheminées roulées...

An long-shot I should try: If anyone in the #Madison Wisconsin area is a fan of vintage alto saxophones, I find myself in possession of three Beaugnier (Vito/Noblet) saxes that *really* need loving homes.

I love them as craft-pieces I have no room for.

But my lips can't do alto... at all […]

I recommend looking for a French-made Vito. They’re made by Beaugnier and are really nice and still not very expensive. There was a rough ‘The Duke’ tenor on eBay last week that went for about $350. Dukes were regarded as direct competitors to the MKVI when they came out.
