I was just seeing is anyone had any information about the quality, or how much this saxophone might sell for. SN: 251***

Thanks for any info you might have

between $100 and 250. (just guessing).

There's two on the ebay store (non-auction), with buy it now's of $200 and $259, and they've been there for a long time.

Holtons don't bring a lot, despite the enthusiasm of some of us--especially not the student model altos, like your 566 Collegiate. Even most of the older pro models cost more to overhaul usually than they're worth, with a few exceptions.

I like my Holtons a lot, and shelled out pretty good money to get my old tenor overhauled. I'm totally thrilled with it, but it doesn't change the fact that it's still not worth much--except to me.

How do you like yours?
