Found this on ebay, but the woman doesn't know anything about it. What would you think it is worth.

It's a Buescher TT or "True Tone" tenor sax. I'm sure those more qualified will chime in on value.

Carbs,

The fact that the following image says low pitch, it probably is a low pitch horn. I'm not a 100% sure if it's not a C Mel though.

The following question and answer was at the auction.

Q: Can you please tell me how long the sax is without neck. Thanks. Nov-02-07
A: Hello... It is 24 1/2"


Based on Bruce's information, THIS IS NOT A TENOR! It is a C MEL! Do not bid thinking it's a tenor! Warning!

oshawya,

This is NOT an alto or a tenor. It's not anything you want. It could sell for 2-300 as a C melody saxophone. It's in the pitch/key of C not Bb as a traditional
tenor or Eb as an alto.
