Tenor sax B&S

[loureiro]

I have a B & S tenor sax (blue label), serial number 1136.
It has no high F sharp key and the bell it says "Made in Germany".
I wonder:
What year was it made?
Which model is it?

Thanks in advance
regards

Hello loureiro,

your B & S Tenor was made in January 1971, model-number 3245.

Hello Mr. Weller

Thank you very much for your quick response.
I tried to find out by other ways and did not get it until I found your website, (which I have added to favorites).

If I may, I have another question for you:
What role has the black cap in front of the octave key?

Again thank you very much.

Kind regards

...What role has the black cap in front of the octave key?...

this is an adaptet for a smal micro - if you don't use the micro you have to use this smal cap that the breath (for 100%) can stream into the sax.

a similar construction was build/used by Keilwerth.

adaptet = adapter


sorry
