Description
Between the 1960’s and 1990’s, Grassi was a very large producer of wind instruments in Italy; yet, for reasons unknown, very little is known about the company or its products. An Italian company named Proel now owns the rights to the Ida Maria Grassi logo and still produces saxophones today, but with the stamp ‘Italy’ instead of ‘Made in Italy’. This particular saxophone has serial number (48,XXX), which means it was made sometime between 1960 and 1974. We believe that it is one of the first few models that Grassi produced and is capable of producing a lovely and professional sound.
This saxophone is in a reasonably good condition considering that it is around 50 years old, and before this saxophone is dispatched to you it will be fully serviced, play tested, and set up in our workshop to ensure that it plays and feels as good as new when it arrives with you.
