Over the weekend I posted a couple of photos of a vintage alto sax<\/a> with mysterious extra keys<\/a>, and asked if anyone could identify it. Some of you  answered via comments, while others sent me emails.<\/p>\n

So what brand of saxophone is it? It is an Oscar Adler Triumph model alto saxophone.<\/p>\n

The horn was correctly identified in an email by Attilio Berni. Berni, who is from Italy, has an enormous collection of rare and unique musical instruments, which he uses in his Italian Saxophobia<\/em> project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the rare horns in Berni’s collection, is a Triumph saxophone. (I suspect however, that Berni’s is not in need of a restoration.)<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n

According to Attilio Berni, the Triumph model was built with 11 extra keys, and had a range from low Bb to high G. Its key system is very similar to that of the Buffet Apoge\u00e9.<\/p>\n

The Triumph was Oscar Adler’s top of line model of saxophone, had mother of pearl rollers, and a microtuner on the alto and tenor models. As of the 1930s, the Triumph was only available in alto, tenor, and C melody voices.<\/p>\n

In his comment, Quinn<\/a> didn’t know the manufacturer, but did correctly identify the city of manufacturing. Oscar Adler was indeed located in Markneukirchen.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to read more about the company, I have the content of the Oscar Adler page<\/a> finished now, but more pictures will be added over the coming days and weeks.<\/p>\n
