I have just bought a lovely oscar adler tenor Saxophone. It's serial number is 1075, it needs a a re pad, doesn't appear to have a low b flat key and is nickle plated .
Can anyone tell me its date, if its low or high pitch and any history please.
I will appreciate any information. Thanks Paul

Re: Oscar Adler tenor saxophone
Hello Paul,
next time, please put your request into the right folder. Thank you.
What I can say immediately: It's a very old Oscar Adler tenor - playable down towards Low H.
Whether it is high pitch? Blow a c and then you will know. Just by looking at photos, an answer will be more than difficult.
I have some questions:
a) it has 2 octave keys, right?
b) is the emblem just a coin that was brazed onto the bell? Or was it pressed into the bell itself?
c) What about the low d? is there an additional small pad in the middle of the d pad?
Some more photos would be interesting. During the upcoming days, I'll try to derive the date of manufacture.
Regards, Tobi

Hi Tobi
I appreciate your reply. I am afraid I don't seem able to add any pictures.... is there another way? I just get this![Bild]()

Re your questions''
a) it has 2 octave keys, right? correct...I think one is high F#
b) is the emblem just a coin that was brazed onto the bell? Or was it pressed into the bell itself?
..... It is pressed into the bell itself.
c) What about the low d? is there an additional small pad in the middle of the d pad? No
Hopefully you will be able to get better idea of age and again thank you for your reply...Paul
