Until April 2010 I had never heard of the brand Lipson before. But one glance at the those distinctive acrylic key guards, fins\u00a0for the neck guard as well as\u00a0key shapes, and I immediately knew I was looking at yet another Hammerschmidt-stencilled saxophone. What’s interesting is that both this alto and tenor were for sale in Scandinavia: the alto in Sweden, and the tenor in Norway. It almost makes me wonder if Hammerschmidt built Lipson for a music store chain in Scandinavia.<\/p>\n

This alto appears to have its original ligature, and perhaps original mouthpiece as well. The ligature is identical to the one that came with my Hammerschmidt-stencilled H\u00fcttl.<\/p>\n

What is interesting is that\u00a0despite both\u00a0Lipson saxophones having acrylic key guards (although the tenor appears to missing its low B\/Bb one), neither is a full-pearl model<\/a>. In other words, neither has mother of pearl on all its key touches\u2014a feature that we usually see on the Hammerschmidt saxophones with the acrylic guards.<\/p>\n

Thank you to Thomas Fyledal who contacted me about the Lipson. Thomas himself owns a lovely nickel plated Klingsor tenor.<\/h6>\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":"
