Elkhart Tenor Saxophone E59

This is an Elkhart tenor saxophone E59.
As it is unlacquered, it has a vintage appearance as if it has been used for many years.

It is said to be a model that aims for the sound of the Selmer Mark VI. The neck has a shape similar to the Super Balanced Action. This is a model without a High-F# key.

There is a performance video on YouTube prepared by the manufacturer, which you may find helpful.
I purchased it new two years ago, but have barely used it. It is a Chinese-made instrument. It has only been used for testing the sound, but due to being unlacquered, there are cloudy spots resembling stains all over. Please understand this is the condition of the item.

The following is my personal opinion, but according to my trusted repairman, the parts are solid, but there are some difficulties with assembly, especially the pad installation. If all the pads were reinstalled, it would be at a level suitable for live performance. For now, I have had one pad replaced and the balance adjusted. Since it would require some expense to bring it to perfect condition, I have decided to sell it.

Please understand that this is a home-stored item.
The shipping method is a placeholder for now. I will pack it as carefully as possible for shipping, but please understand that I am an amateur. (Also, the stand shown in the photos is not included.)
