september 2019 in admiration of martin stencil handcraft tenor saxophones a while back i went musically full circle back to playing my elderly bare brass 30 s martin stencil handcraft tenor sax engraved melody master at that age understandably not always 100 reliable even after being treated to a gorgeous full overhaul by peter bettle no one can predict when metal fatigue will strike although like a vintage car the sound and feel makes up for any creakiness so when it s silver plated twin popped up i didn t hesitate to spend a bit of someone else s inheritance like a pair of peas in a pod the new lewin another 30 s martin handcraft stencil plays identically harmonics in the same place jody jazz jet fibracell reed really opens up the sound even the necks are identical and interchangeable which is a bonus as my bare brass neck has been straightened and patched on both sides before my time bonus 2 now have a big solid cardboard box etc to ship out the b s silver plated tenor it s replacing next time ebay has a only 1 selling fee promotion anyone need a silver plated b s blue label tenor saxophone perfect playing companions for my 30 s martin handcraft c melody c tenor posted by alan tucker no comments email this blogthis share to twitter share to facebook share to pinterest labels c melody c tenor saxophones eb bb saxophones wednesday 8 august 2018 the amazing charlie ventura here on tenor sax when i was still at school in cornwall i used to learn to improvise on clarinet by playing along to a charlie ventura lp he was on a variety of saxophones often playing the 33rpm record at 16rpm half speed to at least give me a chance to keep up lovely raspy solo here dapper moustache n all from 1 25 playing on gene krupa s leave us leap great audio quality suspect the film clip has been tweaked and again at 2 15 natty braces chas it was obvious even then that sooner or later i d leg it to the nearest secondhand shop and swap the clarinet for a saxophone but there weren t many secondhand shops let alone with old saxophones for sale in cornwall in the late 50 s early 60 s but that was a few years later in bath just behind the bus station where i swapped my school clarinet for a knackered old york silver plated well mostly alto sax and then shortly afterwards i joined my first soul band heart n soul wiltshire soul rocked how can i remember all that from the 60 s but yesterday is a pretty much a blur sigh posted by alan tucker no comments email this blogthis share to twitter share to facebook share to pinterest labels eb bb saxophones thursday 2 august 2018 keilwerth new king tenor saxophone 50 s vintage the one that got away although i m quite happy with my current tenor sax a german built b s blue label pics here more about it later i couldn t resist the chance to try this 50 s keilwerth new king when it came up on ebay the seller was offering returns so minimal risk and there was no other interest looked recently repadded with brown plastic reflector pads played as you d expect thick smokey sound especially low down powerful sound and plenty of cut in reserve with my favourite couf j10 s mouthpiece but extremely sad part most of the low harmonics either weren t quite in the same place as my other horns or even worse were not to be found even after several days of trying even with several different mouthpieces naturally i checked a few things like pad heights especially that the front f opened just a crack i m so used to using the low harmonics g c as a natural extension of the normal range that it was quite a frustrating experience switching back to the b s where they just popped out just confirmed the inevitable i had a very nice keilwerth tone king exclusiv back in the day i don t remember any similar problems with it so it has to go back thanks to the seller for allowing returns obviously all shipping at my expense i ll always look at the pictures click here and wish that it d been a bit more forthcoming sigh onwards and upwards posted by alan tucker no comments email this blogthis share to twitter share to facebook share to pinterest labels eb bb saxophones wednesday 22 july 2015 new old bb tenor sax couesnon monopole conservatoire ii nice just acquired a couesnon monopole conservatoire tenor sax s no 149xx behind the pinkie table i keep seeing ii mentioned on reviews etc but can t find anything on the engraving apart from two pigeons that would suggest that certainly has couesnon monopole conservatoire in the bell engraving the case didn t come with the sax i ve had that r c case here for a while waiting for a suitable resident plays like a dream having been used to the more spread martin sound i can now appreciate a more focussed sound a lot is down to the choice of mouthpiece but with my high baffle couf j10 s far right in the picture below it has all the presence you could ever wish for when pushed subtones harmonics the lot and backing off the airstream produces a more conventional sound acceptable to anyone i did disable the linked g c etc on the pinkie table made it a little too much of a workout for my smallest digit speaking of which i was doubtful about those shaped palm keys but for my smaller hands the palm keys fit like a dream as does everything else normally the frst thing i d have to do is fit a riser to the palm d all for under 1000 fitted case wasn t included and i m told it had been given a recent 500 repad by dg music in exmouth nice job griff it was a uk sale but i ve put the figures in us cos i know how much you colonial readers get confused with foreign currencies more pics the sellers on my flickr click here i ll be taking some pictures of my own very soon no official serial numbers lists exist the factory was burnt down which also brought production to an end in the 70 s but i d suggest that this was hand built as were all their horns near the end of production stephen howard did a great review of the same model tenor you can read it by clicking here posted by alan tucker 3 comments email this blogthis share to twitter share to facebook share to pinterest labels eb bb saxophones catch up with me on

tuesday 2 september 2014 kohlert c melody c tenor saxophone the two generations on the left my early kohlert c melody c tenor saxophone from the 1920 30 s recently acquired on the right possibly one of the last manufactured kohlert c melody c tenor saxophones pictures courtesy of its owner kari riikkilä from finland who says it is from 1977 which could give the two c s an age difference of around 50 years i was lucky enough to acquire my early kohlert c melody c tenor saxophone recently the silver plated one on the left by internet bidding at a uk auction not on ebay co uk but an actual established uk auction site bamfords the only downside apart from the lightning speed of the bidding which was over less than 20 seconds was having to arrange my own shipping from the quite remote auction site to my home the reason i say somewhat tentatively 1920 30 s is that i cannot date the sax because it has no serial number that i can find there is no information stamped on the back of the body at all there is a possibility that it could have been made elsewhere for kohlert as a stencil and some features lead me to the assumption that it was definitely made this side of the pond in europe it has yet to be overhauled to full playing order some of the current pads are at best hopeful the bow eb pad is perched on top of the cup as for the last 1977 kohlert c the two tone c on the right looking at them in side profile the thing that immediately srikes me is how much lower down the sling ring is and how much higher up the thumb hook is on the 77 other than that the profiles and proportions of both bodies are quite similar the 77 s owner kari sent me a photobucket link to his photos of it so i can offer links to albums and slideshows for them both enjoy click on the links
