The DA<\/span>yton B<\/span>and I<\/span>nstrument CO<\/span>mpany of Dayton, Ohio,\u00a0sold its own brand of saxophones under the label of DABICO. All DABICO\u00a0saxophones were stencils, and a variety of companies supplied the saxophones for them. For example, some DABICO horns were made by Pierret, while others were made by Hammerschmidt. This alto is one of the later.<\/p>\n

Besides this being a full pearl model, like my H\u00fcttl De Luxe<\/a>, note the ornate bow<\/a> and neck guards<\/a>, as well as the body to bow, and bell to body connecting rings<\/a>. Although we don’t know when this sax might have been produced, these ornamentations are\u00a0what we see in the earlier models of Hammerschmidt saxophones that had the acrylic key guards<\/a>. In horns with metal key guards, these features\u2014both in Hammerschmidt’s own Klingsor line<\/a>, and in their stencils<\/a>\u2014were usually plain.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n

**Please Note**<\/p>\n

Because the of the size of the various vintage saxophone galleries on my site\u2014and the lack of their searchability\u2014I have created a separate area of my site called Bassic Sax Pix<\/a>. Bassic Sax Pix allows you to find what you\u2019re looking for quickly and easily. I have therefore stopped updating the individual\u00a0Hammerschmidt and Hammerschmidt Stencil\u00a0galleries here, and have copied all of the information already contained in these galleries over to the\u00a0Hammerschmidt galleries at Bassic Sax Pix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

New\u00a0Hammerschmidt and Hammerschmidt stencil horn\u00a0images continue to be added regularly to the galleries at Bassic Sax Pix. If you are looking for photos of\u00a0Hammerschmidt stencil horns, I recommend you jump to the bigger, and more searchable galleries<\/a>. Fear not however, I will continue to add more stencil names to this list as I find them. They will just link to the new galleries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
