The Royal Jazz and and the M 70 are definitely more collectible than the more common Bel Air, although the last one is definitely a very good player.

I have one, it is lovely looking with those angular keyguards which has the red inserts, I think we should have a category all about vintage saxes you know- I could go on all day about them.(dribbles insanely)-where is that icon I just dont wish for him turning up with that stencilled Dolnet- Malerne or the Italian one, cant remember off the top of my head, Milandro where are you I think he is thinking of a straight swap but to be honest the Tango is fairly priced for something in low pitch and super duper rare.

Does anyone else know about the Dolnet models and stencils Greatly appreciate your input.

And even when other manufactors closed down thier production.

They are a lot of value for money, but i did not click with mine.

At least the Tango has a cool engraving and could end up like a terrific player.

My tenor has a great sound, but needs some adjustment in the (spongy) keywork.

The beads on the cages were black or red in the first series, then became pearls later on when also the diamond shaped brace was installed.

These altos (but in general this series without the diamond shaped brace and with beads black or red) are very common in the Netherlands, due to the lack of records (which as usual were destroyed ) nobody is sure of when these horns were made but I would say the 50.

In my neck of the woods they are not worth an enormous amount of money and actually most technicians hold an unfounded prejudice about these early Dolnets.

Regards that other Dolnet-SOTW photo, is it actually a Dolnet or stencil.

This model, at a certain stage, acquired also a different left pinky table (rounded) instead of the angular one that you see in the silver plate alto pics.

The models that you are bound to see around are the Bel Air, The Universal, The royal Jazz and the M70, the last two have a very definite look and the M70 always has a serial number starting with M70.

Dated autumn -52.

I got the info about the tenor from another guy who had a receipt dated from early -48.

Here is an Dolnet Bel Air bari (from the 50s) for sale in Sweden.

Overhauled. Looks like the SML baris from early 50s.

Must be because they were very popular, hence common, with marching bands throughout the country.

This mustve disqualified them as professional saxophones in the eyes of those technicians.

Love the art deco look but for some reason Ive filed them in the never buy one compartment in my head.

Not sure why really, but others may feel the same so tread carefully with a pex.

They can be absolutely very interesting and very well playing saxophones.
