Vintage Noblet Alto saxophone, one of the great Beaugnier horns Nice!

Description

Offered here is a Noblet alto sax. This is one of the coveted late-made Beaugniers.  Has full ribbed construction. This horn is in somewhat playing condition but it will need some attention (and possible pads although these look pretty good) to put it in top playing condition.  Comes in a hard shell case with what is shown, which includes a LeBlanc mouthpiece.  Overall it's in great condition. The hinges are all nice and tight. I love the shape of the LH pinky table!  The lacquer is nice and the wear is minor.  Marked "Made in France" on the lower end of the back of the horn, just below the s/n which is in the 7900 range.  These horns have a well-deserved growing reputation for quality build and very good responsiveness to different mouthpieces, etc.  This horn is a good investment for any serious player and, taken care of, will serve well for many decades to come.  In short: this is a great horn!
