The Johnston-Selmer, New York, Model 36 was made in 1936 for Merle Johnston, one of the top studio players in New York at the time.  Johnston was very popular on radio in the 1920s performing as a soloist, with his quartet, with his dance band and with his concert orchestra. He also devised a saxophone mouthpiece, the Johnston-Selmer mouthpiece, Model 36. He taught a number of great players including Joe Allard.

This piece is very "sculpted" out, like an Otto Link and has a beautiful, warm sound quality. It has curved side walls, a slight rollover baffle, and a large round chamber and plays with just the right amount of resistance. Great sounding vintage piece of musical history!
