I have a saxophone that I wish to sell but I'm unable to figure out who made it. The serial # is 76343..It has engraving on it "Evan Loock & Sons Washington DC. I know Evan Loock has been tied to "The Marines Hymn" but other than that I don't know anything about this saxophone.

Somewhere on the bell it should give the manu. Like Conn, Selmer.
Sometimes around the last the last soldered joint before the bend at the bottom it will have the model number. MarkV or Mark VI 18M 20M. Look there and repost what you find.
There are so many makers of Saxes that the serial # is not a lot of help. How old is the horn (about).
