All keys disassembled and cleaned, all tampos (using genuine Serie 3 CHANU metal resonator without rivets), corks and felts replaced, overhauled and adjusted.

[Features & Attractions]
The Serie 3 alto was released in 1999, following the soprano and tenor models, and continued to be produced as the Serie 3 after the release of the Jubilee model (2010), but production ended in October 2021. The in stock item is the first Serie 3 before the Jubilee model, and it is attractive for its grainy pronunciation, bright sound, and ease of control. There are some discoloration on the paint and some sheet metal repairs on the bell rim, but the instrument has been disassembled, cleaned, overhauled, and adjusted, so it is ready to use comfortably.
