Selmer (Paris) Mark VII #293160



SOLD



The Mark VII got a bad rap when it was released in 1974 because it felt so different than the Mark VI. Time has softened that criticism. Now the VII is seen as an economical alternative to the high-priced VI. They do feel a bit big in the hands, but they play great. This one is very clean, with about 90% of its original lacquer intact. Nice horn!



Buffet Super Dynaction #22199



$2,000



According to The Vintage Saxophone Gallery "This is Buffet's most famous saxophone and is one of the two most serious competitors to the Selmer Mark VI in the category of "Best All-Around Horn", even thought it is much less known and respected." Ours was made in 1974 and is in very nice condition, with about 85% of the original lacquer intact. Check out the cool key design on the low Eb/C keys (no rollers) and the split low Bb key. Great playing collector's item!



Conn 6M #535671



$1,000



The Conn 6M alto saxophone was made in 1955. This model does not have the rolled tone holes, but it does have the lady on the bell. The body finish is lacquered brass with about 50% of the lacquer in tact. The keys are nickel-silver plated. The underslung neck does not have the micro-tuner. This is sometimes referred to as the "New York-style Neck." There are no major dents or dings or signs of structural damage. Pads, corks, felts all in good condition. Big, full-bodied classic 6M sound! Comes in its original Conn 6M case.



Tenor Saxophones



Selmer Mark VI #229503



SOLD



Selmer Mark VI #229503 was manufactured in 1974, the final year of production of the Mark VI tenors. This one is a gem. The original lacquer is about 95% intact. A few minor dings and scratches, barely noticeable. Put in to perfect playing condition in our shop, this horn will need nothing for quite some time. If you are looking for a "like new" Mark VI, this could be the one....



Selmer (Paris) Super Action 80 Series II #578143



SOLD



Selmer (Paris) Super Action 80 Series II #578143 was manufactured in the mid-1990's. These horns offer good value: a professional Selmer tenor saxophone at a fraction of the cost of the Mark VI or Super Balanced Action. This one is in very good condition, with only a few small cosmetic flaws that we tried to show in the photos. The original lacquer is about 95% intact. Pads, corks, felts and springs are in like-new condition. The sound is enormous, yet easily controlled. A great horn at half the price of a new Series II.



Buescher 400 "Top Hat & Cane" #329607



$3,800



Classic Buescher 400 tenor manufactured in Elkhart, Indiana in 1949. These are GREAT horns, arguably one of the best that Buescher ever made. This one has it all:

underslung octave key, silver tone-ring around the bell, ornate bell engraving (including the "top hat & cane, a castle on a cliff with a sailboat and seagulls, and ornate floral patterns), gold plated Norton springs, etc. A wonderful tenor with TONS of charisma!


Martin Committee III #169221



$2,600



The Committee III is commonly referred to as "The Martin Tenor," since that's what's engraved on the bell. It was probably the most advanced saxophone design that Martin came up with before they discontinued production in 1971. This horn dates to 1948, just after WWII ended. It is in excellent condition with about 90% of its original lacquer. The horn was overhauled in our shop about five years ago and barely played. These horns have a unique voice, very different from contemporary saxophones. Come in and try it!



Martin Committee III #150255



SOLD



The Committee III is commonly referred to as "The Martin Tenor," since that's what's engraved on the bell. This one is "cosmetically challenged," which is to say, the lacquer is pitted in many places (see photos). This horn is in excellent playing condition, having just been completely overhauled in our shop. All new corks, pads, felts, and stainless steel springs. Beautiful, rich, dark sound. Ready to play!



King Zephyr Tenor Saxophone #331048



SOLD



I'd like to refer to the Zephyr as the "Poor Man's Super 20." For many years, the Zephyr was King's professional model. When they introduced the Super 20 in the 1960's, they moved the Zephyr down a notch to make room for it. The Zephyr has the same body and key design as the Super 20. This one is in excellent condition with 90% of its original lacquer in tact. Pads, corks, and felts all in good condition. A professional saxophone at an affordable price.



Soprano Saxophones



Yamaha YSS-62 #2681



SOLD



This Yamaha soprano was manufactured at some point in the 1980's (exact dates are difficult to obtain for Yamaha saxophones). It has the purple logo which some people claim are the better-playing Yamahas. This was Yamaha's top-of-the-line model during that period. It has a front high F key and an F# key. This horn is in excellent condition and had a tune-up in our shop.



Yanagisawa SC991 #00110205



SOLD



Yanagisawa has been making great saxophones since the 1970's. They were the first company to introduce a professional curved soprano saxophone. The SC991 was introduced in 2004. This one is in excellent condition with only a few minor scratches. Pads, corks, and felts all in excellent condition. It comes with a Yanagisawa #5 mouthpiece and case as shown.



Baritone Saxophones



King Zephyr Baritone #247861



$2,500



Silver plated low Bb baritone made in 1940. Classic Art Deco engraving on the bell. Peal inlay on octave key, triple strap hook rings, custom key guards on the "chair side." Pads, corks, springs, felts, etc. are all in good condition. Great playing baritone with a touch of class.

Alto Saxophones



Yamaha YAS-52 Alto Saxophone



SOLD



The 52 was Yamaha's intermediate alto for many years. It was slightly re-designed a few years back and is now call the YAS-480. This horn is definitely more sophisticated than the entry level YAS-23. It has a high F# key, tilt lever low Bb key and modern front F lever. The action is crisp and the pitch is superb. A great choice for the woodwind doubler or advancing student.
