Chinese Buffet? Not sure when made but won’t be worth much

 

Taiwanese student horn.

ROC = Republic of China = Nationalist China = Taiwan = island of Formosa.
PRC = People's Republic of China = Communist China = mainland China = "China"

 

Thanks I stand corrected!

 

probably made in the 90's see thread

Evette Buffet Crampon?

There are some saxes on eBay right now marked as Evette Buffet Crampon, not Evette Schaeffer. "R.O.C." is marked under the serial number. When looking for info on these horns, all I find are the Evette Schaeffer ones. Are these the same saxes?

I looked at the flag next to your profile. Is it Liberia? Do you play saxophone or are looking to learn? The reason I ask is that the economic and availability of saxes where you are could impact the market.

In the US, most people would not buy this horn if it does not play because it would cost more to fix than it is worth. Also, for the money there are probably better options available.

However market conditions where you live could be different.

 

Looks like a Malaysia flag.

 

here the link. It is playable from seller

Evette Buffet Crampon R.O.C

Would further appraiser if there is any leak or any defect need to be repair

According to the seller, cork and mouth piece need to replace

Really appreciated for your advice and comment as i pick it up as my 1st sax for learning purpose
