The sax of legendary jazz musician John Coltrane is currently being auctioned on Ebay to raise money for the John Coltrane Foundation.
It’s the second of its kind to be sold by Coltrane’s family, this one being a rare prototype given to him by Yamaha for his 1966 tour of Japan.
It was the very same instrument used on Second Night In Tokyo and depicted in the cover of Live In Japan (pictured above).
It’s available as a ‘Buy It Now’ for $115,000. But hey, at least the postage is free…
Here’s an image of what the item looks like below:
