Hohner Brochure – circa 1950

In case you missed it on the tenor page

Please see previous page for a full discussion of:

• The neck and bow guard differences between these illustrated Hohner President saxophones, and those that we commonly see.
• The lack of the round, front-mounted, thumb screw for tightening the neck. This screw is associated with Hohner’s legally protected—”gesetzlich geschützten” in German—double socket neck.
• The finish options mentioned in this brochure.

Illustrated alto circa 1950

This is what the typical neck and bow guards look like on all the Hohner President saxophones—both alto and tenor—that I have seen until now. These style guards are very similar to what we see from the oldest (alto #2135) to the newest (tenor #16443) 

While indeed the tenor illustrated in this brochure has an unusual bow guard, this alto below has the bow guard commonly associated with Hohner President saxophones.
