Unknown tenor with teardrop brace

[Mark J]

Can anyone tell me the origin of this saxophone. It has an unusual teardrop shaped bell to body brace. It is engraved Artist on the bell and has a 4 digit serial number with an E prefix (under the thumb rest).
I have been told that it could be a Dolnet Belair?

[SearjeantSax]

nope wrong keyguards for a belair.
did dolnet ever do stencils?

did dolnet ever do stencils?

Yes. Nothing about this one says Dolnet to me though.

I'm going to guess Italian manufacture....possibly Grassi?

Nevermind, deleted.

im thinking orsi.

Hi,

I don't know what brand it is...

I do know it's certainly not a Dolnet.

Wrong keyguards; wrong bell-adjustment.

might be an Italian or Bohemian horn.

As I said before it is an Orsi, not a Dolnet
