We are all stuck isolated, spending too much time online I suspect. I stumbled on this beauty in the "Terrible Art in Charity Stores" facebook group, and wondered how many of us would part with our own cash to own such a trophy?
And if so, how much of your cash? To maintain the suspense I wont tell you yet how much they were asking for it

$2.50

To be fair, it is quite hard to tell if its a relac or not....

Are you blind? That is OBVIOUSLY all original. I'd put it at 95+%. This is a prime example from this time period.

 

[Jazzoetry]

Well....$59.99 including delivery.

I did not know that Cezanne also worked in yarn. A great still life in a much-neglected medium!

I think it may be an original Meyer NY on the neck too...

Could be a factory re-lacquer. Actually looks like my alto but my notes coming out are prettier.

 

[Tom West]

The ergonomics look a little wonky to me.

Does it come with white gloves included?

 

[zapatista]

My most recent saxophone acquisition:

As evidenced, white (plastic) gloves included.

LMFAO! You win. ;-)

No, that would have pushed the price waaaaay up. You will have to supply your own gloves to handle this masterpiece.

..........maybe if it was like a velvet Elvis poster or black light...........as-is, no.

In these times of shortage you could hang it in the bathroom...
"Break Glass In Case of Emergency"

 

[Gange]

Why not buy it and make a charity auction?

 

[Canadiain]

Its 4000 miles away Does anyone near Withington (UK) wants to risk Covid to go get it from the RSPCA shop?
You would have to really work hard to stop the temptation to keep it for yourself of course...

And of course there is the not inconsiderable capital outlay to buy it too... especially if you have to pay for parking or bus fare as well.

I offered $6,000 for this piece, but they laughed at me and hung up.

I'd pay for it with your cash. This is obviously meant to be embroidered so not only do you get a beautiful picture, you also get a project, very handy for those of us in lockdown.
