Has anyone here ever played or seen an Adolphe Sax brand saxophone?

Nope, but from what I've heard, they're terrible. Bad action, stuffy tone, the works.  |

Were those still being made in the 20th century? Or did the other companies like Selmer, Conn, and Buescher overtake it?

| I believe they were bought out by Selmer, in about 1900. |
