A LITTLE KNOWN GEM IS #67!!!

Wednesday 12/10 found Nancy and I at the Saxophone museum on antique row at 2114 Cherokee street. If you have only a little interest and knowledge of saxophones you will enjoy about an hour of your time to tour the museum,see the saxophone store, and visit with the owner Mark.

The museum is located on the second floor and you view the exhibits at your pace.

The building was built in the late eighteen hundreds yet has been nicely restored. The saxophones are numerous,old,and many of them have beautiful decorations on the metal.

















I am looking into a testing room for you to test out a saxophone before you purchased or one that they just repaired.























The saxophone on the left was built in the very early nineteen hundred.
You cannot beat the price to see the museum.

This is another of the gems of our area that we would have missed except for my quest to do seventy new adventures.

You continute to amaze me. I would have bet $10.00 you were not aware of the saxophone and radio museum. We wanted to visit the radio museum but it was closed.
