SOLD - Looking for a budget mouthpiece? This might be the one (Good repairs, longer life). Plays pretty nice! Great Necks are so cool. They really have an 'it factor' compared to a few mouthpieces. They have a slightly different core tone and response. These are from the 1940s! It has the large font and serial # 55,969.

Yamaha 1988 ‘YSS-62Rii “Purple Logo”‘ Bb Soprano, Series II #10,1xx (Archived)
SOLD - SOUND FILE - One of the top-10 most desired soprano saxophones, and a one-owner at that. This "purple logo" YSS-62R - series II - Serial #10,1xx, was bought new in early 1990. It's original lacquer is in very good condition and shows proof of use and very good care. Keyed to high F#. Unique tone is WARM and CRISP all at the same time.

King 1947 ‘Zephyr’ Bb Tenor, Series III, #292k (Archived)
SOLD - A lovely King Zephyr tenor in lacquer. Nice Protec case. This is a very vibrant and pretty sax. The lacquer color is a deep yellow and the shine pops - see photos! This one is a "very good/nice relacquer" with a preserved the engraving.
Yamaha 1989 ‘YSS-62ii “Purple Logo”‘ Bb Soprano, Series II #10,8xx (Archived)
SOLD - Highly sought after "purple logo" YSS-62 - Serial # 10,8xx, original lacquer in good, used, condition. Keyed to high F# also. It's in relatively clean condition with the pictures telling the story; I'll note the upper pip either has an acid bleed or a light resolder. This sax was owned by an adult player and played/loved well. It arrived to WWS with the many of the original factory pads in it. It does decent right now to test and get a vibe on its tone and ergos - I like it. (This is the older, deeper tone from the "purple logo" era.)
REBUILD: (Included) - TBD - It will get a WWS Standard Rebuild included and be a sweet soprano for your collection and enjoyment. You can order it and help choose the setup. However, left to my own methods, I would do a similar setup as the factory original.
CASE: Original hard case.
This is a Consignment instrument, however, is being sold as a normal WWS inventory which will include a rebuild to your personal specifications.

Buescher 1936 ‘Aristocrat I – The Aristocrat’ Bb Tenor, #273k (Archived)
SOLD - For the warm, blend and punch on command, think of a Buescher Aristo 1. Blended dark lacquer colors. It looks like the era of 50s re-lacquer color to me. These Aristocrats are well-loved and respected for a little punch in their warm tone. The bells on this Aristo model have that narrow look, which I think helps add to its unique projection.
Tenor, Ligature and Cap: Selmer 1960s, Mark VI/Soloist (Archived)
SOLD - Ligature and cap from early 1960s era Selmer Mark VIs - originally paired with Selmer Soloist mouthpieces and Mark VI saxophones. Color is a nice, deep yellow. MATCHING on the ligature. Cap = very good condition with 90% lacquer remaining. Ligature = 60% lacquer remaining.
Selmer ‘”Soloist Style”‘ Tenor, 1960/70s Long Scroll Shank – 0.067″
$169.00 - This is the 3rd era of the "Soloist" models and basically identical to the [long shank] mouthpieces but with a baffle lowered - made them darker. Made of excellent hard rubber, these mouthpieces have the horseshoe chamber and offer a clean, warm, vintage tone that can do many genres - that's probably helped the demand go up. The tip measures 0.067" which is a little low for C* (0.071) but I will leave it original for now and allow an interested person to love it or discuss altering it.
