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.

Selmer 2000s ‘La Voix II’ Eb Alto, Silver Plate, #9,024k (Archived)
$SOLD - Ser# 9,024,xxx. Intermediate Selmer from the recent years. Rare Silver plate in 97% condition. Model SAS-280RS. It arrived we'll played, yet still playing very strong. I was very impressed with the action and feel and I would say that this could keep up with some pro saxes! 1) it's a "selmer", with all the ergos and tone you're after. I would label the tone as "bold, focused, slightly brighter than Vintage tone, yet, very responsive and firm". The bell is "traditional-sized bell" for the clean, focused sound. (I found the bell curve to be very interesting--flares to the right). Comes with the original Selmer hard case/backpack-type with the "la voix" on it.
---We just finished a full disassembly, silver dip cleaning, chemical cleaning, and replaced the main palm key pads and Eb for longevity and easy maintenance! All shined up and helped her sing the doors down!
Cosmetic Rating: 9.0
This sax is a super cool sax! I actually really like the tone. It must be reminiscent of my ol' Series II selmer.

Woodwind Co. ‘New York “N3″‘ Alto – 0.062” (Archived)

Vito ‘Melodia- 3V’ Alto, (WWS reface)- 0.071″ (Archived)
SOLD - Medium chamber. I refaced it to a 0.071". (reface in Progress). I think this is going to be a great player with a classic Meyer tone, but with more focus.

Woodwind Co. ‘New York “J5″‘ Alto, (WWS reface)- 0.078” (Archived)
SOLD - Terrific material and good classic design. Larger chamber makes for a big vintage sound. reminds me of a slant signature sound but a but more 'round'/less focus with the WWS Refaced tip at 078". I have to say, I did my very best to copy my personal Woodwind Co. mpc. This one plays darker than my personal favorite, but just as free blowing. size of 0.065". No ligature, notice the lack of tooth pad design, we'll include a cushion if you'd like to play. Most buyers like these to strictly look at though.
