H\u00fcller Bachus Tenor For Auction"},"content":{"rendered":"

There’s a G.H. H\u00fcller tenor on eBay<\/a> right now that I must admit, did trip by G.A.S. my switch yesterday. However, after some sober thoughts I realized that: 1) I don’t need another tenor, and 2) Shipping damage to such a lovely horn would be a real shame, and I know no one near D\u00fcsseldorf who could go and pick it up for me personally.<\/p>\n

This tenor is really quite interesting, because the model name engraved on the bell, Bachus<\/em>, is not one that I’ve seen associated with G.H. H\u00fcller before.<\/p>\n

According to Uwe Ladwig<\/a>, during the 1930’s, when the company was the largest saxophone manufacturer in Germany, their models were the: Imperial, Artist, Olymp, and Orpheus<\/em>. (Although most G.H. H\u00fcller horns on Bassic Sax Pix<\/a> have no model names engraved on them whatsoever.)<\/p>\n

Perhaps this Bachus tenor was made post-WWII, and it was one of horns that wasn’t sent to the Soviet Union as part of Germany\u2019s war reparations. Whatever the case, this is how the seller is currently describing this horn on eBay:<\/p>\n

Ein wundersch\u00f6nes Alt- Saxophon G.H.H\u00fcller versilbert<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Das gute St\u00fcck ist was f\u00fcr Liebhaber, Sammler und eingefleischte Musiker.<\/p>\n

G.H.H\u00fcller (Gottlieb Hermann H\u00fcller) baute seit ca. der 20er Jahre Saxophone und ist f\u00fcr seine besondere Qualit\u00e4t und ausgefallenen Gravuren in der ganzen Welt bekannt und gesch\u00e4tzt.<\/p>\n

Der Original Koffer ist in einem guten Zustand (f\u00fcr sein Alter) und auch das Saxophon befindet sich in einem sehr sch\u00f6nen Erhaltungszustand und ist voll funkionsf\u00e4hig!<\/p>\n

Alles was sie auf denn Foto\u00b4s sehn ist im Lieferumfang enthalten!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A wonderful alto [huh?] saxophone G.H.H\u00fcller silver-plated<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This good piece is fur enthusiasts, collectors, and die-hard musicians.<\/p>\n

G.H.H\u00fcller (Gottlieb [sic, it was Gottlob] Hermann H\u00fcller) built saxophones since approximately the 1920s. The company is world-renowned for its build quality and fancy engraving.<\/p>\n

The case is in good condition (for its age), and the saxophone is also in very good condition. It is fully functioning!<\/p>\n

I especially love that gray accessory pouch. I wonder if any of those reeds are used.  \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

This incredibly lovely, vintage sax has nearly all the features we are accustomed to seeing in G.H. H\u00fcller horns. It has rolled tone holes, a microtuner neck, a G# trill key, fork Eb, and the D resonance key. What it doesn’t have, is a high D\/D# trill key, and that interesting bis Bb roller key<\/a> that most G.H. H\u00fcller horns had.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to read more about the G.H. H\u00fcller company, check out their page on my website<\/a>. There you’ll find some information about the D speaker<\/em> or resonance<\/em> key, as well as general info about the company itself.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in the Bachus tenor currently up for auction on eBay<\/a>, the Buy It Now price is shown as \u20ac999.99, which eBay estimates to be $1,338.09 US. The dealer’s store page<\/a> shows the auction running for another 27 days from today (Feb. 09, 2013).<\/p>\n

Currently there is 1 offer on this horn already. Oh, and BTW, I will not be bidding on this sax. I have never bid on a horn that I have written about on eBay, and never will.<\/p>\n
