Actually, you shouldn't even look at it. You can't unsee something.

Linky.

It's one of those Indian "almost sax shaped" things. *Shudder*

I wonder if the 1 offer was for free disposal?

 

[Groovekiller]

nice pad floating technique (sarcasm) ... looks like they used pads for the touches and bell key stops too.

Yes, I've seen these before. They scream Mumbai all over the place.
Well, there ya go.

Yes, I've seen these before.

On the wall of a national chain restaurant?

Those pads reminded me of the south end of a north bound baboon during mating season. I was going to link to a picture, but there may be children present . . .

My first though upon seeing those pictures was "I could fix that". My second thought was "why?"

nice description they have on that site

We are the manufacturer and exporter of indian musical instruments. We manufacture Saxophone,Clarinet and all types of Reeds. Saxophoone is also available in Nickle shining and Antique finishing.

it's amazing that they use whatever size pads (see the side C key) is available no matter how big it is. There is no way to float those pads .. just look at the bell C# .. if that is the C#??

I once was the proud owner of an Albert System clarinet.
Yeah, the red pads, and the threaded tenons. The buttery (softness, not action) keywork...those were the days...

 

[Heckelphone]

WTF?

Is that upholstery?

How to fix:

1. Take sax out of case.
2. Discard sax.
3. Buy a different sax. Any sax.
4. Discard case.

Simple!

Two people have actually bid on it and it's now 150 Pounds Sterling.

I weep for humanity.
