Warrnambool and District Historical Society Inc.
Instrument, Soprano saxaphone and Box
This musical instrument belonged to Donald Robert McDonald who was a member of a prominent South Warrnambool family. As his army service number is on the case it is presumed that he had the musical instrument with him during his wartime service (World War Two). Donald Robert McDonald (b. 1908) enlisted in 1942 and was discharged in 1946. He was a bombardier in the 2/4 Aust. Composite A/A Regiment.The instrument is significant because it belonged to a member of a prominent South Warrnambool family. It had historical and social significance as an example of the musical entertainment common in the 1940s (perhaps Donald McDonald played in a local band or a military band)Silver-coloured soprano saxophone; end taped with mouthpiece missing; Black case for holding a musical instrument made of moulded cardboard and lined with black velvet. It has a leather handle and metal catches and studs. ‘Trade Mark Boosey’ ‘Boosey and Co Makers London 25081’ ‘British Throughout’ donald robert mcdonald, south warrnambool, south warrnambool, 2/4 aust. composite a/a regiment., warrnambool -
