Dolnet ROI Jazz 20507 (Royal Jazz)

[Cougarnaut]

Hello,

I'm searching for information about an old saxophone which was stowed
away for the last 28 years in a drawer. I try to get it back to life again.

Maybe you can shed a little more light onto this issue. I already
checked saxpixs.com but I'm confused with the serial number. It seems
to be a series 1 or an early series 2 because of the "old style guards.

Thank's
Dirk

this is a very early Dolnet! Unforunately no reliable serial numbers charts are available and it is difficult to have any idea of when this was made but I would say late '20 early '30.
The Royal jazz model that I know are an evolution of the Bel airs with some more modern key work and sometimes extra features such as an high F# key, but the were very different in almost anything. Looks very nice!

Thanks for the information. The reanimation is going well.
