Forum: Noblet

OK, Well...before I get to my post I have to make an announcement: It's official...the NOBLET forum has now taken the Title of: "Most Ghost-town Section on SOTW".... It has displaced the Malerne section... ....seriously....5 months with not a single posting......

Greetings fellow Noblet owners! I recently purchased a very decent Vito Noblet "Standard" tenor. It's currently at the repairmans place having a few leaks taken care of. All in all, I'm very pleased with its condition, and my repair guy called it a "gem." : ) However, it appears that it has had...

I purchased a Noblet alto saxophone about 3 years ago (it's an amazing sax) and I realized there was a man's head on the neck of the saxophone. Me and my friend (who plays Tenor) lovingly refer to him as "Steve" but I would love to know who this man actually is. ALSO there are two "40's" carved...

It has been nearly two months and no action. What's up? Even the ZeuS section has had some action. :twisted:

Anyone know how old this tenor is? I am considering buying it and would like to know if it's worth a decent price. Thanks!

I found a Noblet tenor that plays fairly well, locally. More of a darker sound then other tenors I tried. It says on the bell Noblet, and below that Paris, nothing else. The serial number is 10679. It does say standard towards the bottom of the horn, which the guy said meant standard pitch. He...

Im looking to find out how old my Noblet (France) tenor saxophone is, serial number is 14268 can anyone help?

Hello All, Just purchased this Noblet and was wondering if anyone would know if this is the Pro model that Noblet produced. I'll be getting it later next week. I've been reading here that these are a great horn for the price. I've been searching on google and info Noblet is very limited and even...

Hi I got a Noblet alto from a garage sale, old case, good shape! Serial 99xxx. Actually plays great. Bell pads are on the same side like newer horns. (left) . ANy info is appreciated. Dont know anything on this.

Hello, I have an old-ish Noblet Eb alto sax that I don't know much about. I got it in very used condition around 1977. Some of the markings: STANDARD, Noblet Paris, MADE IN FRANCE, and it has serial 10xxx. Anyone know maybe when this was made? The lacquer is in rough shape, and it really needs a...

Finally got my hands on this beauty and took some pictures (http://ktjphotography.smugmug.com/share/haQA9xVCEiJqg). Let me know what you think. I do photography on the side so if you have a sax you what done, let me know.:D Yes, the avitar is a self portrait

(ADDED.. lower notes are neatly a note FLAT) 1st off.. i know nothing... here is the report i got back from our band instructer on a Noblet Bb bari we just purchased s/n 107XX. this was rebuilt by a VERY VERY good local insturment restorer w/new pads and a few new or custom made parts.. ...

I just won an auction on Ebay for a decent looking Noblet alto (15xxx). Looks like quite a nice horn. Should make a nice little backup to my R&C R1 Jazz! Actually, I am hoping that the horn has the nice French core sound to play classical. If it doesnt meet expectations, I suspect I will be...

I am looking for a Noblet tenor - not a USA Vito that was made by Yamaha or Yanigisawa. Silver is preferred, but lacquer can do, too. Please email pictures and price to thang.d.nguyen@gmail.com if you have one. Thank you.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with some much needed information on this Noblet. I believe that it is a soprano sax, but I'm not positive. The serial number is 7842. I would greatly appreciate any information that you could offer such as year of manufacture, what this item is worth, or...

Hi, Can anyone tell me the age and approximate original price of these CLARINETS or where to look: 1. a Noblet (France) serial 6139D? CORRECTION on initial number provided 2. a Selmer Signet 100 (USA) serial 205619 3. a Noblet (France) serial A87162 (Date claimed 1980) Thanks so much

I just had a complete re-pad/overhaul done to my Noblet alto, S/N 71XX. It was purchased new in 1954 or 1955 (recollection slightly fuzzy). Hadn't played it since I graduated from high school in 1962, although several relatives including my son have played it since. I definitely recall that the...

I've been playing a lowBb Noblet baritone for a few years now. My tech guestimates its vintage as around 1947-1952. Anyone know anything about these horns? It's the only bari I've ever played, so I don't know anything about its relative tone etc. Any guess on its valte? It's a bit of a...

There's a nice looking Noblet tenor in a local music store. It looks like some of the Pierret pics on Sax Pics, and a lot like some of the Olds Parisian tenors I've seen, but nicer than those. It has an interesting neck brace unlike any I've seen on Sax Pics or Ebay--kinda like the Olds Parisian,...

Any clue what these might bring? In like new condition. Made in Paris. Beautifully engraved and looks like a new horn. Nickel plated keys & screw in resonators.
