The bell to body support brace looks quite similar to that\u00a0of the Jinbao-made Oleg bass<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The spatula keys certainly have the shape of those found on the late model Selmer Mark VI<\/a> and the Series II<\/a>, as well as the Oleg<\/a> bass saxophones.<\/p>\n

The key guards certainly scream Selmer-style to me. Compare them to those of the Series II<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The second bell to body brace, located above the bow, also resembles that of the Oleg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The chromatic F#\u00a0key guard, and the clothes guard\u00a0have a definite Selmer look<\/a> to them.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt, it appears that J. Elle Stainer had their French-style basses on display in regular lacquer and silver plate finishes as well.<\/p>\n
