Noblet Alto Saxophone

[jjones1]

Hi All!! I would like to know if anyone can give me insight on Noblet Alto Saxophones. My mentor gave it to me and I play it regularly but don't know about the brand.

you won't find much info about these horns. I briefly had one which looked very similar to a Vito Leblanc alto (their simpler model not the rationale, semi-rationale or Leblanc system ones) , the only " special" feature is the possibility to unlock the articulation of the G# (a small sliding attachment behind the G# key). Other than that, it is a nice playing horn which, due to its rather subdued popularity, is not really worth a lot of money and it goes among the good players which are not always worth the price of an overhaul, and, if you have done one and you intend to re-sell it at a profit it is worth remembering this.
