Saxophone, soprano, Evette and Schaeffer, 1905
Brand
Paul Evette and Ernest Schaeffer bought the Buffet-Crampon firm in 1885 and patented their first saxophone on July 25, 1887 (December 5, 1899 in the US). These instruments are significantly different than earlier models and are possibly the most technically advanced of any French-made saxophones produced at the time. This soprano dates from the first years of the company.
Type
This soprano still has two separated register keys. So the normally automatic switch using the G key has to be done by hand.

State and material
The instrument has had a simple overhaul and is made playable. It is not expected that it will be used intensively, so not all play is removed.
No mouthpiece included
