This is the very first Hohner President alto sax I had ever seen. I found it on our local Craigs List. My original plan was to have it restored by my tech—it had obviously sustained some bell damage from a fall. In the end I opted to leave it with my tech as a parts horn, and I picked up another Phase 2 alto (114XX) that is also in this gallery.
The horn has the C/D trill key.
