White L.A. Sax tenor saxophone—a musical gift from E Street Band legend Clarence Clemons

White-finish L.A. Sax tenor saxophone personally-owned and -used by Clarence Clemons, saxophonist for Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band from 1972 until his death in 2011. The saxophone bears a red painted-on logo, and the back of the body is stamped, “T8806.” Includes the original carrying case, which contains accessories like extra reeds and mouthpiece parts. In fine condition, with scattered scuffs and marks from use.

Accompanied by an original photograph of Clemons and a friend posing with the saxophone, which Clemons gave to her as a birthday present, and a copy of a notarized letter of provenance: “1984 was the year that I received the white sax. Clarence had a room especially for his saxophones, pictures, and his memorabilia. At that time, he had 7-8 different saxs which he notated playing. He did not often leave the house without a sax. He used the white LA Sax quite a bit in the seventies. He had a Grace Jones haircut, wore a white tux, & played a white sax.”
