A Beaugnier-made,\u00a0Vito bass saxophone keyed to high F, being sold by Saxquest<\/a>.<\/p>\n It also has a bis Bb key…<\/p>\n This is what they say about the sax…<\/p>\n This is an awesome vintage Vito bass saxophone, serial number 19793. This horn was made for Vito by the Beaugnier sax company, out of Paris. Beaugnier, owned by Leblanc, made horns, especially bari and bass saxes, for many French companies including Noblet and SML. This style bass is commonly referred to as a “short wrap” bass as the tubing does not go up as high as say a vintage Conn or Busecher. As such the instrument is a bit shorter. The tubing then wraps back down the tube a bit further to make up the extra length. Its a fabulous instrument and quite rare to find, especially in this condition!<\/p>\n This bass is in excellent overall condition. It has a few dings and dimples as to be expected in a vintage bass but no major dents and nothing that affects play or sound. It is all original lacquer, never redone, and as you can see in the photos the original lacquer has outstanding coverage. It does have all new pads, fully overhauled in our shop by Duncan Bamsey, using large metal domed resonators.<\/p>\n This is a great bass for many reasons, not the least of which is its size. While it is in Bb and has the same length of tubing as other basses, the bell diameter is smaller and it feels much more compact, and isn’t nearly as cumbersome as an old Conn or Buescher bass sax. It feels comfortable under the fingers and the action is quick and precise.<\/p>\n This is a great player too. Nice even sound top to bottom, good response, and when you move a lot of air through it, it really comes alive! Big powerful sound in the middle and lower registers. Definitely a horn worth checking out! We’ve sold these in the past for $7500.00. Best of Luck on this NO RESERVE AUCTION!!!<\/p>\n We are auctioning off many sax mouthpieces and accessories, in auctions starting at just $1 with no reserve. Good luck.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
