Here is how the company describes this interesting horn:<\/p>\n

This is a vintage short-wrap Noblet bass saxophone, serial number 9215. The instrument plays “as is”, but ultimately needs an overhaul. With our shop backed up for the next several weeks we are offering this horn here as-is at a very good low starting price.<\/p>\n

Like the vast majority of bass saxes out there, this horn shows a fair amount of dents and dings, mostly in the bottom bow. While the sax is missing a single keyguard in the upper crook and one guiding post on the back side of the body tube, all of the keywork is intact and functioning. It does have its original neck.<\/p>\n

Please see the photos and ask if you have any questions. It does ship in an older but usable hard case.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n

This Noblet bass would have been made by the Leblanc-owned Beaugnier Company in Paris. They stencilled saxophones (especially baritone and bass saxes) for a number of companies, including Noblet.<\/p>\n

Last December Saxquest\u00a0sold a Beaugnier-stencilled Vito<\/a> on eBay. That horn appears\u00a0have been somewhat newer, and had already been fully overhauled in their shop.<\/p>\n

The auction for this vintage short (AKA French) wrap Noblet bass runs until October 10. The starting bid is $3,500.00. At the time of writing there were no bids yet on this sax.<\/p>\n
