Description

F E OLDS “TheParisian” Ambassador ALTO SAXOPHONE made in France
This sax has been disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, checked for leaks, and regulated so that it is in good playing condition. The pads have not been changed but they did not need to be.
The serial number is 0457xx and that appears to place it in the 1950’s. Research indicates that the likely manufacturer was Beaugnier” who made it for F E Olds and Sons. Olds was a quality brass instrument maker, but I don’t believe they made saxophones.
I played sax in high school and this instrument appears to be well made and if I were starting over again, I’d prefer it to something made by imitators in other countries.
Includes case, neck plug, music holder, mouthpiece cap.
