Value of my L.A. Sax Chicago tenor?

[-TH]

I'm going to sell my beloved L.A. Sax Chicago series tenor (sandblast finish). It's in great condition. No dings or dents or even scratches. These are "Made in Germany"-made B&S horns stamped L.A. Sax which WWBW sold some years ago. Mine is about 7 years old. Including a great BAM Trekking case.

How much would be a good price for this??

Thanks!

If you have a B&S in disguise it will be for sure more interesting than the Taiwanese strain of these brand.

B&S seem to have quite more of a following in the States than they have in Europe and I have seen people asking for B&S saxophones on this board before.

I would love to buy one but I’ve just planned and paid for a holiday.......... good luck!

Last time I really checked on these they were in the $1900 range for mint examples. They are great horns but dont bring a lot of money.

There have been a few of these listed and sold in the Marketplace. If you are able to ferret them out they you should give you a good idea. I think I bought mine (honey lacquer in very nice condition with a cheapy after-market case) for about $1300 but that was a number of years ago.
