Beaugnier Paris (LeBlanc) Alto Sax

NO RESERVE!!!

Freshly Overhauled.  Extremely Rare!!

 

Beaugnier alto sax.  Extremely rare. A small number of saxophones were sold under the Beaugnier name.  Freshly overhauled. 

 

Beaugnier was a small, high quality, saxophone builder located in Paris across the street from the Selmer factory.  It was owned by LeBlanc.  Many saxophones sold under the LeBlanc label  were actually built by Beaugnier.  The quality, and expense, of building the Beaugnier saxophones was so high that LeBlanc could not sell them profitably in the marketplace.

 

This one is less than cosmetically perfect.  It has a dent on the bottom and one of the posts has been resoldered.  The lacquer has quite a bit of speckling – I’d say it’s about 80% but you can judge for yourself from the pictures.   The case has a bit of fraying but is quite serviceable; the clasps are good. 

 

This saxophone has received a fresh overhaul.  The sound I’d say is a characteristic “French” sound, more like a Selmer than a  Buescher or Conn.  All of the pads are brand new and everything is adjusted.  The instrument plays quite well.  You can own a rare piece of saxophone history for the cost of a used student horn.
