OK, so he’s not a real chimp, and it’s not a real sax, but this 9\u00bd” tall toy is\u00a0whimsical enough that it might just make the collector in the crowd very happy. When I saw it on eBay<\/a> a couple of days ago, I immediately thought of the expression we hear\u00a0regularly: Sax is an easy instrument to play (badly).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The seller describes the saxophone-playing chimp like this:<\/p>\n

Cragstan Saxophone Playing Monkey Battery Operated. It measures 9 \u00bd\u201d high. It plays the drum, blows horn, moves forward and back, swats the bee with his left foot. The fur is intact. The battery box is clean. Nice condition for its age. It uses 2 \u201cD\u201d batteries ( not included). NO box. It is in working condition.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
