Alto Saxophones



Selmer (Paris) Mark VI Alto #147879


SOLD


Selmer Mark VI alto #147879 was manufactured in Paris in 1967 The owner studied saxophone with the legendary Don Sinta at Ithica College during the '60's and Sinta picked out this horn for him at the factory. After college he played in a few bands, then packed it up in the attic. It will need a complete overhaul (we can do it in ours shop, or bring it to your guy), but it is one of the cleanest Mark 6's we have seen in a long time. Original lacquer is about 98% intact. Just a few small blemishes. Comes in its original case.



Yamaha YAS-62 Alto #C87517



$1,900



The YAS-62 was Yamaha's top-of-the-line alto for many years. Now it has been bumped down to an "entry level" pro horn, just below the Custom EX and Custom Z. This 62 is in near mint condition, with just a few scratches on the body and neck. Pads, corks, and felt are all in perfect condition, so the horn will need nothing for quite some time. As with all Yamaha saxes, this one has incredible intonation and a nice focused sound. A new YAS-62 goes for $3,410.00. Our "Like New" 62 is a bargain.



Conn 6M Alto Saxophone #338360



SOLD



"Lady Face", Microtuner, Underslung Octave Key!

A very fine 1950 vintage Conn 6M alto saxophone. Not sure if this is the original lacquer or not. The bell engraving is extremely crisp and clear, but there is some buffing wear and lacquer drip just below the right hand thumb hook. Pads all have brown plastic domed resonators and are in used but very good condition. A couple of small dings and scratches here and there. Very minor. Horn plays great as is and was fully adjusted before listing, but you still may want your horn tech to go over it and set it up exactly to your liking. Comes in its original case, in good condition.



Tenor Saxophones



Selmer Mark VI Tenor #154768


$6,250


Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone #154768 was manufactured in France in 1968. It was just completely overhauled in our shop. The horn was completely dis-assembled and cleaned. All keys were swedged to take up lost motion, and all rods were straightened. New pads, corks and felts were installed, all pads were seated, and the action was lubricated and regulated. The original lacquer is about 50% intact, with the bare brass lightly rubbed to remove discoloration. It may not look like brand new horn, but it plays like one! Clean, quick response from bottom to top, nice warm sound with just enough edge. This road warrior has been given a second life!


Selmer Mark VII Tenor #288356



$3,500



The Mark VII got a bad rep when it was first released back in 1974. It was such a radical design, very different than what players had come to expect from Selmer since 1954. Now there are plenty of horns on the market that pay tribute to the Mark VII. Heavier horns with larger pinky keys. A lot of players see these VII's as a lower priced alternative to the VI and SBA. Ours is a very nice example. Free blowing and easy to control, lots of varied tone colors. Not a bad horn at all. Completely overhauled in our shop, including stainless steel springs, premium pads with plastic resos, and a slightly lighter key action. Very nice!



Baritone Saxophones



Martin Handcraft "Typewriter" Baritone Saxophone #96345



$2,625



Here's a baritone with style! The Martin Handcraft Master baritone is know as the Typewriter Model because all of the keys have a round pearl touch piece, reminiscent of the old Underwood typewriters. Serial #96345 dates its manufacture to 1929. This horn was relacquered at some point, but it doesn't seem to have affected the playability or its enormous sound. Neck may not be original as it shows signs of being adapted to fit the mechanism. Again, doesn't seem to affect sound or playability. Comes in a newer, form fitted hard case.

Alto Saxophones



Andreas Eastman "52nd Street" Alto



$1,800



Andreas Eastman is one of many new brand names coming out of Taiwan. The Taiwanese have upped their game in recent years and are now making very nice instruments in the "advanced student" niche. This alto is Eastman's "52nd Street" model, an homage to the be-bop era and Charlie Parker. It's unlaquered, for that "vintage horn" look. Nice, freeblowing alto!



Yamaha 52 Alto



SOLD



Sorry, this one has sold, but we are always looking for good, used, intermediate level horns. Check back!
