I must admit I have long had a fascination with Eugen Schuster horns. Why? Don’t know. Might have been the green rollers on the very first Majestic Aristocrat alto I saw that Saxquest was selling more than a decade ago, that peaked my curiosity. <\/a><\/p>\n

This was Saxquest’s description of this really interesting instrument:<\/p>\n

Very Rare 1940\u2019s German Vintage Majestic Aristocrat Alto Sax, Serial Number 1316!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a very rare 1940\u2019s vintage \u201cMajestic\u201d Aristocrat F.A. Eugen Schuster alto saxophone, serial number 1316. The saxophone includes the original 1945 dated purchase receipt from Leipzig Germany. It was most likely manufactured by Couf or Keilwerth<\/del> {wrong} for F.A. Eugen Schuster, Markneukirchen (Sachsen). The receipt also indicates it was authorized by Frank Reynolds whom later went on to work for the Olds and Sons Company.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a very interesting saxophone and shares many similarities to American vintage horns of the same period like Buescher and C.G. Conn. The construction features a Conn like table key cluster, trill G#, left side bell keys, rolled tone holes, green key rollers and a very cool trill Eb.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The original silver plated body of the saxophone is in pristine physical condition. It shows no signs of ever receiving any major cosmetic damage in the past. The bell flare, bow and body tube are all in outstanding shape. It also includes the original neck in very good condition. The neck has never been pulled down or bent in the past. The pads on the saxophone appear to all be the original leather pads. This instrument is in fantastic condition but it will need a full pad job before it will be ready for serious playing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss a chance to snatch up this extremely unique and very special saxophone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The horn features all the traits you would find in horns made in the German-speaking regions of Europe at the time, including:<\/p>\n
