Embassy Alto<\/span><\/p>\n

Serial #: 2286<\/p>\n

Finish: Lacquer with nickel plated keys<\/p>\n

This alto was the first Embassy model Pierret that I’ve seen. (I’ve since documented more in Bassic Sax Pix<\/a>.)\u00a0 It\u00a0bears a striking resemblance to the saxophones that Pierret stencilled for\u00a0the\u00a0F.E. Olds & Sons company. Specifically, it looks a lot like both the\u00a0Olds\u00a0Parisian<\/a>, and the Ambassador<\/a> models. The mother of pearl on the left thumb rest, gives it a\u00a0slightly stronger resemblance\u00a0to these, than to the less expense Parisian Ambassador<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although at this point this is pure speculation, it is possible that the Embassy model was made concurrently by Pierret while they stencilled the Olds saxophones.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
