I have a fascination with the fine detail work that went into vintage saxophones. Keyguards, octave levers, unusual key mechanisms, and so forth, all attract my attention. So it isn’t surprising that when I photographed my saxophones a few weeks ago, I paid particular attention to the fine detail work that makes some of my vintage saxes so unique.
Here is one such example. This is my full pearl Hammerschmidt.
A Hammerschmidt’s Pink, Pinkie Cluster
There is just something quite beautiful in this 50+ year old keywork. Very few saxophones of today carry this level of detail.
