Trying to identify a sax?
I recently obtained a saxophone.. I'm trying to determine what it is and who it's made by.. It has a JL in script engraved on the side and some floral type engraving etched on the front of the horn. it has a serial # 105062 . it came in a beautiful black large cloth hard case with the same JL script embroidered on the bag. it is an alto sax ..maybe a students model judging by the music book that was included in the package. (essential elements 2000 book 1)... thank you..
