SOLD - A rare dukoff "Miami" (the one you want), and finessed tip to 0.087" by Bob Carpenter. From Bob's Collection. Comes with a brilhart level-air ligature and cap (a great substitute). You don't see an "8" come for sale very often. Item: ConsignBCarpenter
Conn ‘Pan-American’ Alto, 1930s (RAC refaced) – 0.071″ (Archived)
SOLD - Vintage hard rubber from 1930s. It has a large Chamber and I just had Bob Carpenter open it up to 0.071". It plays really easy. I would say it sounds typical of a stuffy, vintage tone but after Bob's work, it can cut through in the high register--still not as loud of a mpc as others. no ligature, sorry.

Selmer 1932 ‘Super – Cigar Cutter’ Eb Alto, #17,4xx (Archived)
This saxophone is an off-site consignment, being sold/shipped from the United Kingdom (UK). A rare opportunity for the professional saxophonist, collector, enthusiast to acquire a great piece of Selmer Super Saxophone history. This is truly a unique, beautiful looking and sounding vintage saxophone. The elegant, unique finish is a brass-look and, for the age of the instrument, it is in incredible condition. It has been brought back to it's best playing order by my technician and I have thoroughly enjoyed gigging and recording with this classic horn. It's tone is unique to this vintage era of Selmer production. It is full, big and vibrant and even puts my legendary Mark VI in the shadow. A true performer and a regrettable sale.
SML 1968 ‘A. Cojan’ Eb Alto, Stencil, Silver #21,xxx (Archived)
SOLD - #21k, silver plate, Finish: Original Silver body & keys,with elements of the Rev D (1950s? key guards) and King Marigaux tone holes and high F#. It also has the SML gold springs. This sax will prove to be one that perks my interest in research and tone. It's a very heavy build, with good weight perhaps from the plating.
It will need a fully rebuild to enjoy. Judging by the sheer power/boldness in this model, I might recommend we discuss how to keep the resonators a 'medium' size -- pad upgrades encouraged.
SML 1965 ‘[Gold Medal] – Pichard’ Eb Alto, #19k (Archived)
SOLD - Sound File - #19k would put it at 1965-6 by SML charts, Finish: Original lacquer body & nickel keys, with elements of the Gold Medal design in engraving, and key guards. This sax will prove to be one that perks my interest in research and tone.
***Bias note: I play on an SML Rev D alto.
Selmer 1972 ‘Mark VI “Euro”‘ Eb Alto, w/ F#, #199,xxx (Archived)
SOLD - (WWS Rebuild + Sound File) - #199k, Finish: silver plated keys, Original Lacquer body. In excellent condition. I bought this from the original owner. It was well loved as you can see. Originally marketed for the European market, these Mark VI's had a different engraving, and also the silver plated keys!
REBUILD: This one is getting an upgraded rebuild. Black Saxgourmet Roo pads ($100); Pisoni, nickel plated domed resos; and our WWS Premium Upgrade ($299) as we assemble this sax to be able to do more than just 'quiet jazz'. This setup will be towards a Lead Alto sound and great for solo work again rock/blues players.
