Call or email us with any questions or for any specific pictures. Holton Model 27 Stratodyne Cornet 1962 Reverb For sale is a Holton Model 27 Stratodyne Cornet. If you're close to the Portland area, come try the horn, you're not likely to come across something this unique again.Īs with all of our instruments, we've processed it through our repair shop and put it into top playing shape. Other than that, I've not seen a Stratodyne Tenor, let alone in such immaculate condition as this. I've heard rumor of one other Tenor that showed up on an auction site, but that it sold low & was generally beat up, not sure if it had a neck even.

The top end is a little saucier than most vintage horns, I love that I can keep pushing it & it just keeps responding. Tone wise, this is very similar to an early 10M, big sound, dark, and fantastic subtone. Everything about the keyguards is swanky, this horn does not lack style. It has an awesome little badge on its sold silver neck, the body is brass & the keys are mostly nickel, with some parts brass. One of our senior techs gave it a repad within the last year. This was Holton's last attempt at a Pro Sax that would take the world by storm. Checked & checked, and I don't usually say this with such confidence about any of our horns, but with this one specifically, you're NOT going to see another one of these.
