Vintage French tenor saxophone in good playable condition
This F. Besson tenor saxophone is a characterful vintage instrument from around 1930–1940, manufactured in France and very likely built by Beaugnier. This type of saxophone is known for its solid construction and warm, round sound, which is popular among vintage saxophone enthusiasts.
The pads were replaced a few years ago. After that, the instrument was no longer played. The saxophone has now received a service and plays well.
