Tenor Saxophone Art Piece. I bought this Holton, from Elkhorn, WI, Tenor at a flea market about 35 years ago. After finding out what it would cost to get it back into playing condition again (way too much for a college student, and since I'm a drummer...) my buddy and I discussed what could be done with it. As we came over the next hill, fate intervened. Just as I said, “so what the f@#k am I gonna do with this thing?”, on the horizon was a man driving (you guessed it)…a steam roller. My friend and I began laughing uncontrollably. I asked the driver if he would “mind running over this saxophone for me?”. And with a bored, I-get- this-all-the-time-and-I’m-pretty-sick-of-it-by-now look and tone he causally said “set it down in front of me”. It flattened out very nicely (although the plastic mouth piece shattered into a fine black dust). My friend and I were quite amused by this adventure and its artistic result. The driver didn’t stop, slow down, or even look back to admire his work.
After 35 years on my wall. It’s time to let this one of a kind piece go to the next guy. Very cool sliver finish with black patina. Please give it a good home. Shipping: The shipping calculator is just an estimate and it's always wrong. I'll set a flat fee (no pun intended) of $35 for Cont US and refund the balance. My zip is 76006. Please don’t ask what international shipping will be before it closes. I’m not going to guess, or hunt down exact numbers for every option/country. When people ask “how much to ship to X?”...what they’re really asking is “how much over cost are you going to gouge me for?” Not me. After you’ve won it, the price will be exactly what it costs me and not a penny more. I don’t think shipping should be a revenue stream for the seller…this eBay trend really puts me off. If you want it heavily insured, professionally crated and over-nighted to Japan…shipping will be exorbitant. Double boxed and USPS, Cont US, no insurance…probably around $20-$30. Tell me how you want it shipped and it’ll cost you what it costs me. Local pick up is encouraged and free. This is a straight-up auction…No BIN and no ending early. No Reserve!!! I will ship anywhere (again, PLEASE don’t ask how much before it’s over…I will not respond). I'll will answer any questions as honestly and completely as I can. Let's find this deserving "art piece" the right home. Good luck. |
