SOLD - Sound File - A rare beauty! A beautiful example here of what some might call the "last of the real 10Ms" before the Mexico era. An affordable 10M - Comes with a custom built case is great condition. This sax was adult owned, last owner was Owner #3. As I inspected it, I saw about two small dings/dents in the history and one ping. Comes inquire to be owner #4!
Martin 1948 ‘The Martin Tenor’ Bb Tenor, #166,0xx (Archived)
SOLD - SOUND FILE - A beautiful "The Martin Tenor", with an early serial number (matching neck #), and many original features present: brown felt... 98% original lacquer in excellent condition. I am biased and I love these, especially the early serial number ones (darker tone).
Martin 1955 ‘The Martin Baritone’ Eb Baritone, #196k (Archived)
SOLD - A "warhorse" player with battle wounds. The Martin Baritones are loved for tone - words people use to describe: power, depth, core, punch, bite, bark. They have a special tone.

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.
Conn 1937 ’30M – Connqueror’ Bb Tenor, #279,93x (Archived)
SOLD - A rare sax in fantastic condition. Original lacquer and original case. Silver touch points are in excellent condition - all are intact. Also, all of the Conn 30M adjustable levers are present too. Please scan the photos and contain your drooling.
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.
