I've been out of the loop for years and have brought out my old saxes from high school. I've got a 65 Mark VI alto and a 37 Balanced Action Tenor. My question is does anybody have any knowledge about the tenor. It's a 23xxx serial numbered horn which from my research puts it in the 1937 range. The peculiar thing about the horn is the neck. It has what was described to me years ago as a church steeple neck, an addition to the octave hole that looks like a church steeple or bullet to correct the intonation. The horn itself has been called a bombshell tenor from the material it is made of I assume, giving it a very dark tone. Does anybody have any futher history info on the horn, I'd also like to get a rough value on the horn for my insurance but becuase of it's rarity it's kind or hard for anyone to judge that I have spoken to.
Thanks,
Patrick
