Lastly the 204 alto and 214 Tenor were Resotones-extremely fancy and premium early horns. If anyone sees any mistakes please let me know so I can correct them. Some model numbers listed below predate Holton stamping model numbers on saxophones however, the model numbers are listed in the Holton catalogs. The Holton Stencils listed below are based on SOTW forum posts, SOTW forum users, and information found on other saxophone related websites. Note: 232, 233 altos 241 Tenor, and 271 Bari listed as being for sale that year. That said, along with the red rot, this one got a harsh relaq sometime in its life.įor some reason, chrome was giving me issues pulling this up last night, and I thought it may have disappeared. Soy-I think bell keys are correct on this one-looks like a Rudy transitional to me. I havent see any numerical designation for Rudy Wiedoefts, but Rudys (unless transitional models) are also clearly engraved as such. The serial numbers, combined with pics of specific horns and their respective numbers (especially in the Modern Vintage Holton thread give a pretty good idea when theses horns were made. I havent seen a list as you have laid out, but member LaPorte posted an accurate serial number list. I think the Resotones were also made at the same time as 203213215s (Revelations when they gained model numbers). Jazzbug has a 214 Tenor, and theres pics of a couple 204 altos. Heres a 666-pretty rare-even with the fancy silver and copper metal, still marked Collegiate Other weird and rare models: Reso-tones-search the Holton section-some good info and pics in there. There were older Collegiates too, very similar to the Revelations (Revelations are usually called Elkhorns by non Holton folks, as thats all thats really engraved on them, other than a design.) Those Collegiates will also be clearly marked by engraving on the bell.Ī lot of the numbered models were just identified by their number, as far as I know, aside from the kinda rare 400-series horns (the alto is a 465, the Bari is a 480) which did have a name, the Ideal. The 566666 (altos) and 576 (tenors) were indeed Collegiates-they will have a large Collegiate engraving on the bell.
