I had a really hard time determining whether this was a Transitional or a Phase 3 horn. In the end it all came down to the high F# key.
The first clue was that the key is not nickel plated like the rest. It makes no sense that this key alone would have such a worn finish.
The second clue was the way the key is attached. It doesn't appear to be attached like the rest of the high F# keys on the Phase 3 horns. I am open to being wrong. I would love to see better photos of it.
If you own this horn and come across these pics some day, please email me at: bassic.sax.info@gmail.com Thank you!
