Most of the Zephyr series was in lacquer, add 15% for silver. The Zephyr baritone remained essentially unchanged throughout the production run and sound great. After the mid 1950’s, the Zephyr became an intermediate model, so deduct 30%. I understand there were a few made with sterling silver bells. The Zephyr is a killer! The Zephyr Special had a solid silver neck and mother of pearl key touches. The engraving is beautiful, but they just don’t play very well. I find their intonation to be sketchy at best. Production of saxophones was no more than about 500 horns per year.Įxcept for the Saxello, I can’t find anybody expressing much interest in the Kings made before the Zephyr. Dolnet horns were produced in very small numbers by a small French workshop that specialized in saxes. DOLNET Country of manufacture: France Production span: 1888-1994. But all the posts are mounted on a metal strip.

Does anyone have an idea about the age? The keyguards look from the '30's. It has some characteristics of the Dolnet Series I but also some differences.

It has serial number 13924 but was bought as second hand instrument in the '50's by the previous owner. I second the request for the OP to please provide a serial number.

Could be that the materials used in making the case will give the best clues as to date. I think 'post WWII' and 'pre-1960' might be more accurate. I just bought a Dolnet tenor that the seller said was from 'the late 1970's', but it has a serial number of 58,239C. I'm trying to figure out, to keep it or swap for a playable yamaha or something. Body is in great shape, no signs of any major damage or repair. Recent overhaul with flat, metal, riveted resonators.
