This rare and Late Weidoeft tenor is widely considered to be the best, and only serious Holton saxophone ever made. Complete with numerous trill, and vent keys, this horn was both complicated, and surprisingly advanced for its time, with a 'same side' bell key layout resembling a Selmer 22.

This example was carefully serviced by Al McLean, and retains its original pads. McLean loosely interprets Thelonious Monk's Epistrophy in this rubato study of an early American sax.
