Of all the D\u00f6rfler & J\u00f6rka-stencilled saxophones, Ren\u00e9 Dumonts are certainly one of the most common. They appear for sale on eBay so often, that this stencil name alone tells us that D&J horns are anything but rare.<\/p>\n

In October 2010 a father of young saxophone player bought a minty Ren\u00e9 Dumont alto, and proceeded to do some research. Through the course of his research he happened across not only my site, but also across an interesting ad<\/a> from the Nov-Dec1963 edition of the Music Educators Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

According to the US Dept. of Labor Statistics’ Inflation Calculator<\/a>, $265 in 1963, would be $1,993.74 in 2012.<\/p>\n

These D&J saxophones were anything but the toss ’em in the closet and forget about ’em<\/em> kind. They were quality horns, which can be found for very little money today, even when in very good to excellent condition.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to see more Ren\u00e9 Dumont saxophones, be sure to check out their gallery in Bassic Sax Pix<\/a>. If you’d like to see the article I wrote in October 2010, which contains the above-noted ad, you can find it on my blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
