This is a professional sax made by P. Mauriat and branded Cadeson. This brand is sold mostly in Japan. Check Ebay and you can see this for yourself. It is in new condition. I am the original owner. I sell saxophones and I bought out a former dealer. P. Mauriat is a Taiwan company that made many instruments for boutique brands. One such well known brand was Viking. Pro Taiwan horns are very similar. Gold plating is not really being done anymore. This horn is about 10 years old and only played a few times.
