Up for sale we have an extremely rare Kolhert "saxoboe" in good condition. This instrument has been serviced and is in full playing condition. This instrument is essentially a metal oboe with saxophone fingerings. It can be played with either a standard oboe reed or the original single reed oboe mouthpiece. This incredibly rare instrument was intended for saxophone players to allow them to play oboe without learning new fingerings. Due to the Great Depression, very few of these instruments were sold and they are extremely rare today. This particular instrument is in good condition with no major defects. The finish is completely original and is almost entirely present. The instrument only shows a limited number of small dings. Most of the pads appear to have been replaced recently and are in excellent condition. The instrument comes with all of the original accessories including the mouthpiece, ligature, cap, cork grease, swabs and the original case. The case does show some wear and the handle has been wrapped in tape but it is still structurally solid. Also included is the original reed which can be copied to make new reeds for this instrument. Very few of these instruments ever show up for sale, and many are in poor condition. Don't miss your chance to own this rare and unusual instrument! If you have any questions about this instrument please feel free to ask. Thanks for looking!
