Just purchased a Jean Baptiste Saxophone Serial Number 60709, could you please tell me the model number?

Here's what others have done to find out that info.....

It makes rude noises for unskilled players.

I can't find a reference to 'NR'. Looking just at the serial number, the Selmer scheme shows it should be indeed, a Mk VI made in 1969 or 1970.

If that is so it may be worth from $4000-5500 depending on condition. To be certain I'd have it professionally valued.

No information was found online. i suggest contacting the manufacturer. Here is their link-

Hi Katie,here's a link to your serial number. Buescher Altos Throughout the Years

I have 51 years experience as a sax player. A new listed price for this saxophone is $7319.00 on sale. Optional finishes would include silver plate-Add $940.00. Gold plate- Add $12,490.00. Better deals can be had from private sales and from various music stores. In my opinion there are better saxophones although I have owned a Paris Selmer tenor sax since 1967.

You'll have to contact Gibson for that directly, they keep those numbers fairly secret so only they know the real ones.

You are going to have a great deal of difficulty finding information using only the serial number. Have a look at this forum and consider joining and asking them. They probably have the most informed members for a saxophone forum:http://forum.saxontheweb.net/archive/index.php/t-84514.html
