This saxophone is a relacquered saxophone or "once" lacquered. This horn is a fantastic playing saxophone! Its important to note this horn is sitting on old pads, and could benefit from a fresh pad job. That being said the horn is playing top to bottom on the current pads. All of the key motion is freshly oiled moving lightning fast. The pads are old, but the horn has no leaks and is fully sealing. The saxophone has a few crescents in the tone holes. Crescents are a specialized repair technique to add a bit of cork to the inside of a tone whole to help the horn play better or more in tune. Its very rare you come across any horn that have crescents at all, so clearly whoever was the last owner of this saxophone was extremely particular about there setup. The horn has a massive tone with complete ease free blowing.
