C-Melody Saxophones

The C-Melody saxophones listed below vary from 'playable' to 'projects' - but in the course of time I'll obviously try to get them all up to a good playing standard.  All are 'LP' / A=440, which means they will play in tune with modern instruments.  I'm open to sensible offers, and will ship to most parts of the world - I'm based in England / UK.  For any general questions about C-Melody Saxophones, go to my  Question and Answer  page, or the  Model info  page.

I'm currently overhauling a silver King C-Melody sax (with front-F ), and a silver Buescher stencil C-Mel - engraved "Lyon & Healy, American Professional, Chicago", amongst others, and hope to have a few of them available mid-late 2009.    Please email me  if you'd like to be contacted when I've any playable C-Melody saxophones available.   Click on any underlined links, or the picture(s) below for more details - including some slideshows.  Mouthpieces and reeds are also listed in the appropriate sections.  All prices are in UK Pounds (Pounds Sterling) £.   Various payment options including Paypal.
