Alto Saxophones



Selmer (Paris) Mark 7 Alto #258158


SOLD


Selmer Mark 7 alto #258158 was manufactured in Paris in 1976. After playing on Mark 6's since the mid-50's, the saxophone world was not kind to the Mark 7 when it was introduced in 1974. It had a larger key structure, was heavy, and had a very different sound quality. But as the price of Mark 6's go sky-high, opinions are starting to change. Here's your chance to own a pro saxophone without going broke. We've gone over it in the shop and it's a nice, free-blowing horn with a lot of character. Worth taking a look at!


Selmer (Paris) Mark VI Alto #200340



$7,000



Selmer Mark VI alto #200340 was manufactured in Paris in 1972, close to the end of the Mark VI era. It has about 96% of its original lacquer intact, with a couple of small dings and a few scratches, mostly on the neck.

It had only one previous owner, who took very good care of it. Pads, corks and felts are all in very good shape. Great sound, great intonation, great "feel".

Come by the shop and check it out!



Yamaha Custom EX Alto #228513

Yamaha continues to show the world that they are one of the best manufacturers of saxophones. The Custom EX is their "top of the line" horn for a very good reason. It plays GREAT!!! Great feel in the hands, great sound, great intonation, great projection. GREAT! This horn can be used in any style of music: classical, jazz, r&b. It is flexible and very expressive. We've gone over it top to bottom in our shop. It's ready to go. Check it out!



King Marigaux Alto #26818



$2,400



From the earliest days of the saxophone there have always been manufacturers who will put another makers brand name on their horns. This is known as a "stencil". In this instance, the French company Strasser, Marigaux and Lemaire made saxophones for King. Hence the name "King Marigaux". This one plays like a dream: full, robust sound great intonation nice altissimo register. The original lacquer is about 90% intact. A great horn at a great price!


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 Radio Improved Tenor #19891


SOLD


Selmer only made about 3,000 Radio Improved saxophones, from 1934 to 1935. As a result, this model is pretty rare. Even rarer is finding one in this good condition. Engraving is nice and crisp. A couple of tiny dings and a few scratches here and there. It has an extremely focused, warm beautiful sound. Comes in its original case and has a grenadilla wood end plug. If you're into that "vintage" sound, you have to check this horn out!


Selmer Mark VI Tenor #148096



$7,000



Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone #148096 was manufactured in France in 1967. The original lacquer is about 96% intact, with a few bare spots and scratches that I have tried to show in the photos. We just gave it a complete mechanical overhaul: new pads, corks, felts, complete cleaning, regulating and cleaning. Truly a great playing horn. Comes in a brand new Protec tenor case. It's not often that we find a Mark 6 in this condition.



Soprano Saxophones



Yamaha YSS-475 Soprano #009726


$1,750


Yamaha 475 soprano saxophone #009726 is in "like new" condition, with very few blemishes. The original owner plays on older, vintage sopranos. He tried this one and realized he prefers the old ones. The 475 has a great sound, accurate pitch, great ergonomics and a reasonable price. What more do you want?


Yamaha 62 Soprano #2681-Purple Logo!



$3,500



Yamaha soprano saxophone #2681 was manufactured in Japan in 1982. It has the purple Yamaha logo on the bell. It is in very good condition, with a few surface scratches and small dings. Plays like a charm nice even sound from top to bottom. This horn has been my personal soprano for past eight years or so. But age and arthritis have made it hard to hold for me, so I switched to a curved soprano. Comes in its original case.


Baritone Saxophones



Martin Handcraft "Typewriter" Baritone Saxophone #96345



SOLD



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



SOLD



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 475 Alto



$1,200



Yamaha keeps improving all of their lines, and the mid-level YAS-475 is a good example. They take features of the upper level horns and make them available on the midlevel and beginner horns. It feels "right" in the hands plays remarkably in tune has the high F# key and is fun to play!
