Hi folks - been a long time since I posted (about 10 years).
My kids are interested in playing - so I started looking on good old ebay again.
This is a fun one - I just love the old Evette/Evette Schaeffer horns as you will see from my posts way back in the day. So I was looking for something my daughter can use to get started - and long story short - this popped up in my feed and I couldn't pass it up, especially at this price... I mean, just for curiosity's sake alone!
I'll post detailed pics when it arrives, but let this image tickle the brainstem until that time..
A New, Unopened Evette E10. Serial Number D1948 places it in 1965. 58 years old... and still in the original wrappings - and looks perfect. I contacted the seller and its from an old music store that closed and they are clearing it out.
I'm like a kid in a toystore!! Cant wait to see it!

This a general question as I've been thinking about this instrument. Seeing as it's been sitting in its case, still in bags for nearly 60 years - I would figure that the wood should be relatively stable and not too dried out. Then again, I'm not sure.. I suppose it matters what the conditions were in its storage.
For the professional tech's among us - Should I plan to remove all the keys and oil the body? Or simply follow the instructions at Buffet's site regarding new instrument break-in? (i.e. don't play it more than 30 minutes a day for the first month - I assume this is to gradually stabilize the moisture level in the wood)
