$1,049.00 - 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.
Jupiter ‘JAS-769’ Eb Alto, #G16k
$550.00 - I like these as a good "all round" starter sax (one of a few that meet this). Great Ergos, it has the high F# key, nice original hard case. Made in Taiwan, Gold lacquer, nickel keys.
Armstrong ‘Model 3000’ Eb Alto, #7,2xx
$400 - Another starter sax with decent ergos, good metal, and a lineage of Keilwerth parts. This sax looks like the old Couf parts (my 1970s pro sax.) Gold lacquer, nickel keys. No high F# key, Cosmetic condition: 6.0. I expect it to have a great sound that would rival and new sax.
Yamaha ‘YAS-23’ Eb Alto, #368k
$649.00 - One of the gold standard saxes to start on. This one is in great condition and will last your young player a long time and get them started right.

Yamaha ‘YTS-52’ Bb Tenor, Intermediate Level, #005,006A
$1,499/1,699.00 - A pretty, intermediate sax to excel a student or adult! The serial number "A" indicates that it was assembling in the US Michigan plant which was known for producing great quality.
Buescher 1950 ‘Aristocrat II – Big B’ Eb Baritone, #333,25x
$2,499.00 - The Big Bs are famous for a BIG warm sound with rich low notes--resonant low end the fills the room, probably due to some help from the big bell flare. Mid-range gets a little thin but the low notes make up for it. These fit very well in jazz or concert bands. Intonation is pretty good all-round. Upgraded case.
Yamaha ‘YTS-475’ Bb Tenor, #252k
$1,699.00 - Yamaha's Intermediate, yet very high quality, saxes. This is the next generation from the YTS-52 model. Another pretty example, a well-loved sax that will advance any growing player--youth to adult. Original hard case included.
