Professional Custom Alto Saxophone Excellent Condition Nearly New Saxophone.Com

Description

Alto
Saxophone, E
♭
,
Excellent condition Used 5 Months
For the next Professional Artist, it can be but not designed for a beginner level saxophone. This sax was not knocked around. It was purchased new and shows very little wear. It is still nearly new. It was used for 5 months prior to the professional musician's death. It works great. Just to be sure, it was tuned by a professional just prior to the listing.
I have tested this horn. It sounds great. Pads looks very good. Mouthpiece is in very good condition. It has few if any scratches as and nothing significant enough to note. I do not see any dings, see pictures. No worn lacquer.
The pads and cork are in great condition. It was designed to provide more flexibility in tonality and color and to "bridge" the price barrier of the Selmer Mark VI. With a quality of the best  "Top 4" sax manufacturers it is developed to satisfy the requirements and versatility of a skilled or practiced intermediate to professional player. In my opinion it captures the vintage sound and feel of the most popular Selmer & Yani Saxophones. The musical resonances that this sax produces are quite clear and professional sounding. Given the comparative very low price you should not be disappointed.
Saxophone.Com is a brand that is admired by many. This is an American Company located in Las Vegas, NV. I am told that some of their manufacturing is done in Taiwan, similar to the Cannonball saxophones. It is then brought back to Las Vegas where the final process takes place. There is no model type listed on the horn. It does look like a 66 Series. I have little personal experience with it but have read many reviews about the brand of which I have included a few here. The company listed this horn as "Professional". The Seller (to me) indicated that it was ordered and purchased new as a “Custom Professional” horn. I purchased it from the musician’s widow as part of a small group of instruments. Since I already own an Alto Sax I am selling this horn. The prior owner was a professional saxophonist and I was told that he used it as his primary instrument until his death.
This sax is in a price range all by itself. Nothing can touch the quality and features of this fine instrument at this price point.

Unwanted Vibration Dampening
Mother of Pearl Key Buttons
Special Engraved Bell
Includes a Professional Alto Saxophone hard case that is in very good conditions. Snaps, closures, hinges, handles and interior are all good condition. It has keys for locking
This quality alto saxophone has a rich sound all its own thanks to a unique design. Its construction for the left and right-hand section posts results in added strength and durability, as well as a dampening of unwanted vibration and response. The feel of the key work is closer to the body of the saxophone and accommodates hands of all sizes.

I received my product Alto last year and it is just an awesome playing horn! Rich, dark sound and a light touch of the keys- a very comfortable playing horn. I would recommend these folks to anyone!
