B & S silver tenor saxophone

Beitrag von Salvatore »

Goodmorning everyone,
about a year ago I bought a B & S silver tenor saxophone model "blue label". The seller assured me that it was a vintage instrument. The serial number 1074 and the letters "Made GDR" are engraved underneath the finger rest of the instrument. The same numbers appear in the spokesman's key, with the addition of the number three. Can you tell me, from what I wrote above, if my saxophone has been silvered since the year of manufacture or if it is a later modification? Can you tell me the meaning of the number three that appears in the spokesman's key? In conclusion, tell me the year and the relative day and month of making my saxophone?
I await your answers. Thank you all. :v:

Hello Salvatore,

your B & S tenor was made in January 1971. Is the silver-plating original? This cannot be judget from a distance. I have no information about it.


Many greetings

Mario Weller

Thank you so much Mr. Weller for the information given. Could you also tell me the meaning of the number three next to the serial number that appears in the spokesman's key?
Best regards
