RARE! Theo Wanne One Piece Tipped Bell Soprano Saxophone - One of only two made

Description

RARE!  Theo Wanne One Piece Tipped Bell Soprano Saxophone
This is one of only two ever made, one piece body/tipped neck soprano saxophones by Theo Wanne.   This has the modern large bore of Theo Wanne soprano saxophones, so has a full sound, and even has their special nozzle, where the mouthpiece fits.  However, unlike the more current Theo Wanne soprano saxophones this has a one piece body and tipped neck.   The current Theo Wanne horns have a soldered on neck.   So this is very much like a Yamaha 62R, however this Theo Wanne version is made from 92% copper brass and is unlacquered for a particularly warm dark soprano sound.   For reference, standard brass used in saxophones has always been approximately 70% copper.   The higher the copper content, the warmer and more pretty the sound, but also the more expensive the saxophone.
Pads are basically new, as this prototype has been sitting in its case since new.   Body is also in pretty much new condition too.   No case for this unfortunately, however it fits in almost any standard 'straight soprano case.'   Will be packed very well, so don't worry about shipping :)
Great chance to get a very rare, and beautiful sounding horn.
