Our elderly customer originally custom ordered and waited for this saxophone to re-learn how to play sax after a near life time away from sax. Ultimately after owning the horn for just 1 month they decided physically they didn't want to play/practice on a regular basis and just wanted to move on asking us to sell the horn on consignment. Were not sure if the saxophone was even played for more then 10 minutes.
