General description : Hard to be believe, but this is a relacquer….. The colour is a bit lighter as the original lacquer, and there´s evidence on the microtuner. But a job very well done : just look at the crisp-sharp engraving and the serial number info…. The sax looks almost like new, only has one solder repair on the low Eb keyguard. This damages the lacquer, but a job well done also here.
These Transitionals are almost identical to the early 6M Ladyface horns. This one has the neck with Std.M marking, as well as the Metro engraving. I don´t think this neck is original, as the Metro saxes were build a little later and there´s no Metro indication on the body. These necks transformed into the VIII-neck a little later.
