I put a page up on my website a number of years ago about my Italian-made La Monte tenor sax<\/a>, because I had answered questions about the brand many times on SOTW<\/a>. Back then, I seemed to be the only person who had any first-hand playing experience with the brand. Another SOTW member, after he purchased a La Monte,\u00a0contacted Orsi, and they confirmed that they had made the La Monte saxophones.<\/p>\n

Over the past few years I have watched with interest, how the\u00a0La Monte saxophones that have appeared on eBay oftentimes linked to my website. It seems that my website page is still the main source of info for this obscure Orsi stencil.<\/p>\n

This week I took my La Monte off the wall and took some photos of it. In part, because I wanted to compare it to the Gallotone<\/a> that I just bought, which I believe is most likely an Orsi stencil as well.<\/p>\n

Because I get so many people looking for information on La Monte saxophones, I thought it was time to put up some better, more detailed photos of the sax. Now please pardon the dust. This poor thing has been hanging on a wall for probably close to 20 years. And while yes, we do dust, it is obviously not as clean as if it were living in a case. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I like this old horn. It saw me through\u00a0Jr. and Sr.\u00a0High School, until it was replaced with a pro horn just before I entered university.\u00a0It still has a big, fat sound that will easily blow away any new student model and many so-called intermediate models on the market.<\/a><\/p>\n
