The auction for this Swanee-Sax ends on October 9. At the time of writing there were 4 bids on this vintage horn, which is located in London, England. The high bid was GBD 460.00, which eBay shows as equivalent to approximately $732.90 US.<\/p>\n

BTW, I was going to write an article about the slide saxophone for my blog a while ago. However, the site redesign of the main portion of my website is taking up much of the time that I could normally spend researching and compiling photos. (I have some great before & after photos of a Reiffel & Husted slide sax that recently got restored. I received them from both the original, and new owners of the sax.) <\/em><\/p>\n

So instead of doing an article for my blog, I’ve decided to include a section on slide saxophones on my revamped website instead. Once this new section is written, I’ll try and remember to link this article to it. <\/em><\/p>\n

You might also want to check out <\/em>this thread on SOTW<\/em><\/a>, in which a Swanee-Sax owner has posted some interesting information about the restoration of his sax. <\/em><\/p>\n
