Hi, have an old Evette Schaeffer Alto Sax Model # 7798 Brass in color. On the bell hsg is logo Evette over the word Schaeffer. Under Schaeffer is Paris over the word France surrounded by a leafy & Crown design. All the research I've done says 1st Buffet started company in 1866 then Crampon came on board to form Buffet Crampon Co. in 1871. Evette Schaeffer bought out Buffet Crampon in 1885 getting their own patent in 1867 starting with serial # 7xxx where Buffet Crampon left off. E/S went to serial # 29424 in 1927. My serial #fits in that period. Then I found nothing till 1952 where Buffet Crampon has Serial #'s 2925 thru 35733 in 1985 which my serial # 7798 would fall in 1961
My questions did Evette Schaeffer use their logo till 1927? How did Buffet Crampon come back in the picture? Who's logo did they use? Of all the pictures I found on the internet & E-bay, & while some I found are close to my serial #, none seem to match the log Evette Schaeffer Paris France Logo that I have. How do I prove which set of serial#'s am I looking at are for me?
Evette & Schaeffer serial numbers. Since that time, sheet music producers. The serial numbers listed here are for the. Evette-Schaeffer Buffet-Crampon C-Melody Saxophone. Lars Kirmser's Buffet serial. Maybe that'd free up the right hand to turn the pages of sheet music. Evette saxophone - Unique Gift Ideas - mySimon is the. Evette Saxophone.
The Buescher “True Tone” Straight Soprano, keyed in C, #140525 (1923). Silver Plate! Range to high Eb.Built in the mid 1920’s, this was the at the height of the saxophone craze, where folks still liked to gather in their parlors to make music themselves after supper, and sheet music, celebrating the new popular songs of the day, came only in the key of C; so the major musical instrument manufacturing companies, most centered in Elkhart, Indiana, especially Conn and Buescher, (which by the way came a little earlier into the game than did Selmer, Martin, or King), developed a line of Saxophones pitched in the key of C (this idea had been around for a while), including the C Melody but also an octave higher soprano pitched in C. This way one could learn how to play the saxophone (easily done), and not need to transpose!
Windows vista theme for windows 10. The one we have here is in the original silver plate, comes in the original case and is in need of an overhaul and polishing! It has the original White, Kid-Goat (?) skin pads, and sort of plays a little, but needs all new pads. Does have the famous Alternate Eb mechanism of this era in the right hand. $1200 as is, $1700 with repad and polish. Vintage Collector’s item!
