LeComte produced SaxHorns under license to Adolf Sax beginning in 1860 (probably beginning with serial number 1000)
Sax's Saxophone patents ran out in 1866. LeComte probably began production of a line of alto saxes in late 1866 or early 1867 with serial numbers intermixed with the SaxHorns beginning around 1700. This model has dual octave keys and only plays down to low "B".
It is nearly identical to the Sax Alto Saxophone of the period, with the exception of the post arrangements and a few key arms modified as a result. LeComte introduced posts mounted on left and right hand ribs -- probably to speed production times. Adolph Sax altos have posts mounted on the body, frequently attached with rivets through the body. Most of the keys, ferrules, key guards, tone holes, and posts appear to be identical to Sax's. Even the hand engraving appears to have been done by the same person.
This model was produced through 1888 (serial numbers around 8000) when LeComte introduced the single octave key mechanism and the right hand spatula keys with rollers. This improved model was continued by Cousnon.
