After a full professional reconstruction by KGUmusic, the instrument has been carefully restored both acoustically and aesthetically.

The body has been finished with a brown patina and protected by a matte lacquer coating, giving the horn a distinctive vintage character while preserving its long history.
This saxophone is delivered in a handmade genuine leather case along with accessories, providing both protection and style.
Owning this horn means not only playing an instrument of great historical value but also holding a piece of jazz heritage the same model once favored by jazz legends, known for its iconic, commanding tone.
