A few years ago I uploaded the images of a Hohner President saxophone brochure<\/a> that I bought through eBay. This four page brochure is not dated, but the features on the altos and tenors illustrated in it, indicate that it was likely printed circa early 1950s. (View it in its entirety here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Although I have seen a few other Hohner brochures since I bought mine, I had never seen another one like it: until yesterday.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I was notified about a Hohner President alto for sale on the German eBay site<\/a>. Alto #6853 is from 1957, and is in remarkably condition. Besides having the original case\u2014which is actually not at all protective\u2014it comes with two original brochures.<\/p>\n

While the one on the right is the one I own, I have not seen the one on the left before. The other Hohner brochures I have seen include saxophones as part of their product line, and are not exclusive to the Hohner President.<\/p>\n

With regards to the alto for sale on eBay, as I noted, it is in lovely condition. It is a silver plated sax that shows remarkably few signs of wear.<\/p>\n

Looking at the photos the seller provided, it’s hard to believe that this horn is 58 years old…<\/p>\n
