This alto has a high F# key, and the high C/D trill key. I am not sure if the tone holes are straight or rolled on the bottom stack. They appear as if they could be straight. If they are this could be a transitional horn. However, they are most likely rolled which would make this a Phase 2 horn.

The photos of this horn are horrible, and normally I wouldn't even bother using them in this gallery. BUT... what makes this horn worthy of note is that the seller states that this was a NOS horn that: "Found in the basement of a 60 year old music store." Given the complete wear on the neck tenon, that is likely true, and not just a sales pitch.
