A WERO Royal saxophone on eBay

There is currently a tenor on eBay that I would love to bid on, but since I just bought a baritone—and I really do have more than enough tenors already—I am going to restrain myself, and write about it instead.  :devil1:   The tenor in question is a WERO Royal saxophone, made by Werner Roth.

Based on what you can see in the photos, this tenor appears to be in very nice shape. Here is how the seller, who lives in France, describes the horn:

Saxophone vintage *** WERO ROYAL *** dans un état exceptionnel. C’est un saxophone rare car fabriqué à peu d’exemplaires. Sonorité puissante et veloutée…

Les tampons, les ressorts et les lièges sont parfaits. Usure minimale, pas de bosses ni de dépressions.
Livré dans une belle mallette vintage style “croco”.

*** Les frais d’expédition seront ajustés selon le lieu de livraison ***

Bonnes enchères à tous !

Google Translate says…

Vintage Saxophone *** WERO ROYAL *** in exceptional condition. It is a rare saxophone since made ??some copies. Powerful and velvety sound …

Buffers, springs and corks are perfect. Minimal wear, no bumps or depressions.
Comes in a beautiful vintage style suitcase “crocodile”.

*** The shipping costs will be adjusted according to the place of delivery ***

Happy bidding!

The Germans and their love for the unibrow

Like the Max Keilwerth’s late-model, original Presidents and Hohner Presidents, his brother Julius’ King Imperial, the Hess saxophones I mentioned just the other day, and even this Weltklang, Werner Roth’s WERO Royal saxophones had eyebrow key guards. I don’t know what it was about the Germans, but they seemed to really like that style.

If you’d like to read more about WERO Royal saxophones in general, check out the WERO page that I have on my website. (Here’s a teaser: these saxes were made between 1949-72.)

If you’re interested in this WERO Royal tenor specifically, the auction for it runs until April 24. Bids are to start at €350.00, which XE.com estimates to be $483.47 US. At the time of writing there were no bids yet on this very interesting, vintage tenor saxophone.
