Here is a great example of a SML Gold Medal tenor. These saxophones have a sound that has the power of a Conn, with the finesse of a Selmer.
This tenor is very nice physical condition. The strap hook was moved to a more comfortable location. Aside from this, there are no other signs of any solder joints on it. The pads are old, but is still plays well as is. It could use an overhaul sometime in the near future.
