Jeuffroy alto sax identical to mine in a music store in Winnipeg in the summer of 2005. The store wanted about $380 for the horn, which needed an overhaul, and was missing a key. He decided to pass on the horn.<\/p>\n<p>In an odd coincidence, I\u00a0received an email from the Whyte Ridge Music Centre in Winnipeg in March, 2009. The owner explained that the Pierret saxophone, complete with its missing front F key, was stolen from his store, along with a number of high-priced instruments.<\/p>\n<p>I wrote <a href=\"http:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/?p=5852\" target=\"_blank\">a weblog article about the theft<\/a>, in hopes of getting the word out. To my knowledge, this horn has never been recovered.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 22px;\">Concerto with Virtuor Alto<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Serial #: 4117<br \/>\nFinish: Silver plate<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_2_placeholder\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10px;\">Source: Stephen Doyle<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 22px;\">Concerto with Virtuor Alto<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Serial #: ?<br \/>\nFinish: Silver plate<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_3_placeholder\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10px;\">Source: toronto.kijiji.ca<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Be sure to check the <a href=\"http:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/4images\/categories.php?cat_id=21\" target=\"_blank\">Pierret Gallery on Bassic Sax Pix<\/a>.
