Embassy
Embassy Alto
Serial #: 2286
Finish: Lacquer with nickel plated keys
This alto is the first Embassy model Pierret that I’ve seen. It bears a striking resemblance to the saxophones that Pierret stencilled for the F.E. Olds & Sons company. Specifically, it looks a lot like both the Olds Parisian, and the Parisian Ambassador models. However, the mother of pearl on the left thumb rest, gives it a slightly stronger resemblance to the Parisian.
Although at this point this is pure speculation, it is possible that the Embassy model was made concurrently by Pierret while they stencilled the Olds saxophones.
