Saxophone was ran over
I recently started picking up saxophone again, thought this was a funny part of my journey.
During marching band an older man was driving around in a golf cart and went up a ramp (there was no ramp) and ran over my saxophone and someone else’s.
Edit: I was incredibly tired while writing this so I apologize for the lack of details/time dating.
This was 7 years ago, the person who ran it over passed away shortly after (I didn’t want to trouble the family more). My band director at the time surprised me and got me a step up version from this horn (same finish and pearls).
As a gift for him, I gave him the ran over horn since he loves fixing instruments, I believe he has fixed it since then (he retired after I graduated, so I have no way of knowing).
