    Description

    GRASSI MODEL 2000 ALTO SAXOPHONE, S/N 600XX, GOLD LACQUERED, BRILHART TONALIN 3 MOUTHPIECE (THIS IS THE MODEL THAT CHARLIE PARKER MADE FAMOUS), HARDSHELL FLIGHT CASE, VERY GOOD CONDITION (SEE PHOTOS). THIS GRASSI MODEL 2000 ALTO SAXOPHONE HAS BEEN RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL PLAYING SPECIFICATIONS, AND IT CRUSHES THE SELMER SERIES II MODEL 52 ALTO (WHICH IS A REALLY NICE HORN, BUT STUFFY AND SLUGGISH BY COMPARISON).
    THE FLUIDITY AND TONE OF THIS HORN ARE MARVELOUS, AND IT IS JUST WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A HIGH-END EUROPEAN MADE SAXOPHONE: THE BUILD QUALITY IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD, AND THIS HORN IS OVER 20-YEARS-OLD BUT IT STILL LOOKS GREAT! GRASSI SAXOPHONES ARE KNOWN TO BE 'CLOSE' TO SELMERS, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE DESIGN OF THIS HORN: IT CHANNELS THE SELMER MARK VI STYLE, AND FEELS COMPLETELY MODERN IN PLAYABILITY. IF YOU HAVE NEVER PLAYED A GRASSI BEFORE, YOU WILL BE ASKING YOURSELF 'WHY NOT' AFTER PLAYING THIS BEAUTY!
    FLAT RATE SHIPPING OF FOR THE USA LOWER 48 (AK AND HI PLEASE WAIT FOR YOUR INVOICE). ALL USED ITEMS ARE SOLD AS-IS, NO RETURNS.
