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.
Vandoren ‘V16 Metal T45-13AL’ Tenor, Gold – 0.095″ (Archived)
SOLD - Compare at $260-350 for T6 model(0.098") - It plays with a controlled presence & power; it has a focused clarity and will add a fun boost to your volume. "...made with the legendary "Bell Metal" brass, then plated with 24-karat gold."
Meyer ‘5M “Made in USA”‘ Tenor, 1980s – 0.070” (Archived)
SOLD - These versatile mouthpieces can bridge the gap between swing, trad and jazz; comes with WWS's inspection and minor refacing enhancements to the tip included at the same price as a new model without such. It plays with a controlled presence due to the lower tip size and will help progress any young player or player returning to sax. It allows for boosted volume in the Medium chamber without requiring more air.
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.
Morgan ‘Excalibur – 8*’ Tenor, Ser#10,155 (WWS Reface) – 0.106″ (Archived)
SOLD - Sound File - Medium chamber, rollover baffle - Fantastic playing Morgan that received some inspection and perfected in the facing here at WWS. The sound is crisp and clear from from the Medium chamber and bold from the 8* tip. More of the world should try a Morgan.
Berg Larsen ‘110-0-M’ Tenor, 1970s Straightbill – 0.112″ (Archived)
SOLD - Come quick! Nice Berg with a desired tip. Bullet chamber and huge tone; horizontal table markings make it from the 70s/80s.
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!
