Armstrong Saxophone - OBO
Price:
$350
Location:
Boise, ID
Description:
Armstrong made saxophones in the 1980's. The saxophones were made in Elkhart, IN, like so many other band instruments have been down through the years. A used saxophone like one of these will probably need to be serviced by a professional musical instrument repairman before it will be suitable for playing. Since it may have been sitting in some one's attic for years, it may need pads replaced and other adjustments, and a new mouthpiece may be needed.Still, an older Armstrong could turn out to be a fairly adequate instrument for a beginner in the school band. Workmanship twenty-five or thirty years ago seemed to be better than what you find with cheap modern musical instruments. If you find a vintage sax from around 1980 that goes by the brand name "H Couf" it is named after the then president of the Armstrong company. Couf had this Armstrong saxophone made by Keilwerth, which is, of course, one of the big four in saxophone manufacturers, and has a history of excellent craftsmanship. This means that an H Couf is essentially an Armstrong, although it may not be labeled as such. If a brand new saxophone is labeled "Armstrong," there is a chance that it is one of the inexpensive, poorly made saxophones imported from India or China. If you find a vintage Armstrong sax, and can get it serviced so that it is in good shape, you may have a good beginner saxophone on your hands. The horn you have is probably best classified as a student horn like a mid 80's Conn. The made in USA saxophones are selling up to $575 Great student sax!!
