Real and spectacular

tbh I still haven’t fully forgiven you for not just knowing I’ve been on the hunt for a soprano sax

Why couldn't you ask for something easy, like world peace or a cure for cancer?
It's damn near impossible to find one of those things for under $4k. And that is for a 1979 293xxx.

Soprano saxophones are relatively easy to find. However, like with all things we hunt, less than 1% of what you find meets the criteria for grail status.

@impuntura , its kit and ace. Probably cotton cashmere.

Kit ace. I have a couple of their pants. Very comfy stuff but the brand closed most of their stores I think two years ago?

word. sopranos are hard enough to play in tune w a nice tone, add in inferior materials/build quality, & it’s just a frustrating experience—for player & audience.

Have you seen or heard anyone play one of the Kenny G Concert series models?

Haven't got to cleaning those up yet, but I did get around to taking some pics of the clothing I've found over the past couple weeks.

Also, the bike is cleaning up nicer than I thought. It looked super rough when I pulled it out of the basement. About 60% done cleaning at this point. Also, does anyone know of a resource I could figure out the potential value of this bike? Mine is the same color and style as this one, which they say is a 38-39 model and apparently pretty rare.

Here's a few shots of the rarely seen. 1938/39 Schwinn Paramount, Sports Tourist model. This bike was originally owned by a Dentist from Santa Monica, California. There is still a faint remnant of the point of purchase, shop decal on the frame. Only the word Santa and a few numbers are...
