GONE - SOUND FILE - Original lacquer, A true "player's horn" for a player - A beloved horn, owned by the late musician, Jim Coile, of the Seattle area who played with huge names like: Tom Petty, Sonando, Natalie Cole, Franky Valley, ...etc. If this caliber of player chose this sax, that's usually all I need.
Buescher ‘True Tone USA’ Tenor, 1930/40s (WWS refaced) – 0.081″ (Archived)
SOLD - A huge, large chamber mouthpiece with a very mellow tone. Less trebles are present in the timbre - try your low end and the walls resonant in a unique way. The label markings are less deep and have a look that causes me to believe this is from the 1940s; near the end of the true tone mouthpiece line and some of the last large chamber mouthpieces.
Selmer ‘AS500 – Aristocrat’ Eb Alto, #201k (Archived)
SOLD - These are great for kids. The name brand, nickel plated keys (stronger), and very easy ergos. This is a sax with better-ergonomics (more pro feel) sax than the AS300; also has high F# too.
Couf 1990s ‘A3200’ Eb Alto, #319k (Archived)
SOLD - Excellent condition - Intermediate Sax with rich tone and a quality build. It has high F# and will be able to handle all types of music. This particular sax's history is that it was adult owned with limited playing time! Original hard case.
Jupiter ‘JAS-869SG’ Eb Alto, #N07,0xx (Archived)
SOLD - Great Ergos & tone in a better-than-student sax, high F# key, nice NEW case. Sterling silver neck! Currently in factory pads that come with slight-domed metal resonators. These have fast action and you'll love it over any student sax. They play a little louder with power and presence - from the extra rich from the silver neck.
Selmer ‘Soloist’ Eb Alto, #AK33407050 (Archived)
SOLD - Student sax with high F# in yellow lacquer body and keywork. This will be a great sax for a beginner and can do pep/marching or whatever. They really are a quality build that can meet your needs. I believe this model is the next newest model after the AS500 or AS700 (Prelude) models. It feels near identical to the AS500.
Conn 1930 ‘Pan-Am’ Bb Tenor, #44k (Archived)
SOLD - WOW - A vintage Conn for this price?! New Wonder II crossed with 10M, Straight tone holds, It was worked on elsewhere where they installed Jim Schmidt (JS) Black pads ($192 a set!), only main negative is that they weren't made with a Front F key. TONE: "Robust with 2 shots of Clarity".
LeBlanc 1964 ‘Rationale System’ Bb Tenor, w/ F#, #790
SOLD - SOUND FILE - Sax-tastic Fascination! Likely only 200-400 ever made & this one is in excellent condition! Made to solve most all of the "saxophone issues" such as stuffy notes, trouble intonation areas and note passages, these Leblanc saxes have extra keys and pads. Try this one out! This is the highest serial number on my records!
