Member arban recently discovered that René Guénot / Albert Douchet made an alto sax in the key of F (otherwise known as a contralto or mezzo soprano saxophone). This is fascinating because until this point it was thought that only Conn and Adolph sax made these. More information on the link below.

I have seen and played the Guenot F alto and posted about it here years ago. Great little horn.

Hi,
On my website dedicated to René Guénot (https://sax-reneguenot.monsite-orange.fr), I put on line a catalogue ( I suppose from 1930)which propose the sax in F.
I ll enjoy to put pictures of this horn, on my website . Have you pictures or can u tell me how to get in touch with the happy owner of this sax ?

Sorry, no photos. The instrument is in the collection of Leo van Oostrom here in Amsterdam. I meet up with him every now and then for saxophone talk and drinks. I'll ask him about the horn next time.
