ELKHART ALTO🎷 Eb Indiana USA Made SAXOPHONE EXTRAS w/ Mouthpiece & Case

Description

Rare Eb Alto made by the ELKHART BAND COMPANY. According to research, this is a blend of Buescher and Conn. We are estimating this instrument is from around 1950 based on the style and the case.
The company was founded in 1923 by Andrew Hubble Beardsley, who was the president of Buescher Band Instrument Company, and Carl Dimond Greenleaf, president of C.G. Conn, and who served the new company as secretary-treasurer. The company produced "Elkhart" branded band instruments as well instruments to be sold under merchandisers' brands ("stencil" instruments). Instruments produced by the company had an irregular assortment of features borrowed from the products of Conn and Buescher, partners in the consortium.
In 1927 the company merged with Buescher (some maintain that Buescher was purchased by Elkhart Band Instrument Company). When Beardsley died in 1936, the company was dissolved and Buescher used the Elkhart trademark for student line instruments until 1959.
FYI....there are no major manufacturers who make Saxophones in the USA, they are now all imports
We do our best to describe the condition and other than playing a few notes on the instrument, cannot give expert opinion for how well the instrument will play or whether it is needs adjustment.
