This old Kohlert tenor was basically a closet horn, no dings, very little wear overall. The aging of the lacquer looks so cool! The build quality on these is pretty darn good, I love the key guards too. The key work is pretty comfortable and more towards the modern end compared to the 20s/30s vintage saxophones. The tone of this horn is more modern too in comparison to the darker horns of the previous eras. There is a small following for the old Kohlert horns, and there's good reason for that. They can be had for reasonable prices although they are hard to some by. This is only one of a few I've seen in the last year, even on Ebay, they're rare. Especially one this clean. Unbelievably, this horn was shipped all the way from Georgia to my home in Olympia Wa in just a box around the original case...no packing materials whatsoever!!! I was surprised to open up the package and find no damage, sometimes you get lucky.
