a friend of mine found this Pan American tenor saxophone at a antique flea market. he called me and I said buy it. After checking it out, I took it to Taylor Band and Orchestra here in Akron Ohio and had a professional and complete overhaul. Disassemble and clean, new pads seated and fit to instrument, all new cork and felt pads, keys swedged as needed. This tenor sax has a great sooth sound. There are scratches on the surface. There is a new Max brand case,fitted to this sax, and comes with otto link pro #5 mouth peace.
