They were something special. And yes, the first of the line was presented to then president Bill Clinton. In fact, you can see that horn on display in Vermillion, South Dakota at the National Music Museum on the campus of the University of South Dakota. Along with an original quartet of saxes created by and owned in the personal collection of Adolphe Sax himself... This place is so amazing really. Everyone should see the collections here at least once in their lifetime!
And in fact here is a link to the sax presented to Clinton, and subsequently to the National Music Museum. Spectacular piece of musical memorabilia, really. http://www.usd.edu/smm/clinton.html

Hey, glad to hear ya'll like the horn. I bought the one on Ebay. It is number 15, out of 150. It really plays great too, if I could only play it great. :(
I would like to buy another one if I could find it. Thanks,

I have to admit I had one, and sold it about 3-4 Yrs. ago.
It wasnt a nice horn Quality wise, but it sure got alot of attention.

It sold for around $800 (Ebay)if I remember correctly.
