Update June 2024<\/strong>: I do now have the Eugen Schuster page on Bassic Sax.<\/a> To find out more about this manufacturer, check it out.<\/p>\n

There is a rare, vintage German saxophone currently for sale on the UK eBay site<\/a>. It is a silver plated, Eugen Schuster Majestic Aristocrat tenor that was made in Markneukirchen.<\/p>\n

I have been fascinated with these horns ever since I saw alto 1316<\/a> that SaxQuest was selling a few years ago. Since then I have seen a couple of tenors for sale\u2014including tenor #1725 that’s on the UK eBay ATM\u2014which have been of interest to me. I might have been tempted to buy one of the tenors, but sadly I don’t have time to play all the horns I already have, so adding yet another one really makes no sense.<\/p>\n

As noted above, this tenor is #1725, and has appeared on eBay once before. The last time was in February 2013, when the seller then stated that the owner he bought it from had the horn completely restored\u2014which included a total mechanical overhaul and new silver plate.  Whoever did the plating job, seems to have done very lovely work. It is difficult to see that this is a replate, and not a minty original.<\/p>\n

I’ve not yet written a Eugen Schuster page for my website,<\/del> since I’m still trying to find more info about the company, but from what I have found, I can tell you that saxophones are the only instruments that the company made. (They had everything else stencilled for them.) Even so, not many Eugen Schuster Majestic Aristocrat saxophones were produced, so this is indeed a bit of a rare bird.<\/p>\n

If this vintage saxophone from Markneukirchen floats your boat, you have until August 22 to buy this vintage beauty<\/a>. The Buy It Now price for this Eugen Schuster Majestic Aristocrat tenor sax is \u00a3845.00. At the time of writing, xe.com<\/a> estimates that be $1,435.79 US.<\/p>\n
