Subj: [kl] Selling Some Saxes ('cetera) for Sanity's Sake
Date: Sun, 20 Jun 1999 22:19:28 -0400

To maintain control over my life and my basement, I need to sell a large
number of historical and modern woodwinds from my collection. These are
mostly good specimens of which I have duplicates; for example, the
listed flute is identical to another I have bought, which is ebony with
silver keys. All are either legitimate historical specimens or useful
musically to a modern performer.

The last time I tried this I listed 80 or so and then could not keep up
with the replies. So for simplicity, let me offer these few:

C Flute Goulding (Soho) 7 key boxwood and ivory 1810s
Oboe, Besson, Triebert Systeme 3, blackwood, maillechort keys 1850-90
Oboe Fox Renard Artist polypropylene 1979; never used, like new
Oboe (baroque) Roessler 2key (after Klenig) A440 blackwood
Eb soprano clarinet, Martin (France), 1860s, 13 key
C clar anon, grenadilla, 10 key simple system, mid 1800s
Bb sop clar anon, grenadilla 12+2 rings, pat C#, "Albert", late 1800s
Bb sop Sax Conn curved 25000 series (1913), silver, detach neck
Bb sop Sax Yanagisawa, lacquer 1988
Eb alto Sax Grafton 14000 series, plastic body, 1950s
C melody Sax Buescher 1922 silver body and bell

All will be sold for appx what I paid for them, as I am not a dealer.
Interested parties may contact me directly, off list, for further
information on these (or on other stuff that you know I have). What
doesn't sell goes to dealers, which may take forever to sell on
consignment; or to EBay, which I despise, as it is artifically driving
up prices; or back to the basement, where I will trip over it some
more. So please write.

Robert Howe
