Hello list.

I'm getting ready to go sailing halfway around the world and I think
it's time to thin out my collection a little bit.

First on the block is a vintage Conn Chu Berry nickle plated tenor
sax. It's one of the later ones. A transitional model. Plays
absolutely brilliantly and is in great condition. The plating is
original and about 95% with some light surface scratches. It was
recently overhauled and has been maintained by Scott Granlund here in
Seattle. There is some work that could be done to put it into perfect
original condition but right now, it's in perfect playing condition.
Could just use a little regulation on the pads. I currently have it
in a brand new pro-tec case and I'm including the original case as
well. Intonation is spot on and it sounds amazing. Serial number is
M228XXX. I am asking $3000 based on Scott's recommendation but am
taking offers.

Second up is a vintage Penzell-Mueller albert system clarinet. In
good playing condition. Ca. 1890. Wooden rollers on the keys, German
silver keys, and is in good cosmetic shape shape. Not quite sure what
it is worth, but I don't think it would fare too well cooped up on a
sailboat so it's time to part with it.

Anyway, those are the only ones I'm selling for now. I have pictures
and more information available upon request. I'm located in Seattle
and if you want to set up a time to play or see the instruments, shoot
me an e-mail and we can go from there. If you're not in Seattle, I'm
able to ship them and take paypal or checks.

Thanks for reading and have a happy holidays!

Ellis
