I don't normally try to hawk my wares on these sites, unless specifically asked, but we have two exceptionally fine SML alto's for sale. These are New Old...
I have a SML Gold Medal alto with Music Medic Roo pads and plastic resos.It is an amazing sounding axe! Can`t figure out why a Super 20 or Mark VI commands...
I still feel that good resonators are a must, whether playing classical or R&B horn section. The bigger the better. Why? Because the instrument is more...

I have to agree with some points and disagree with others as unfortunately there is still plenty of mythology to contend with. First of all, the resonators...
I have a lot to say about all this, but I'm very busy today working on my new website. I'll respond later. I MUST say that the Buescher "parabola" is a total...
Yeah, I have to say kinda thought the whole parabola thing was a bunch of crap too but I keep hearing about it from FSU students who bring their old Bueschers...
It just ain't so............I think myth got started with the Jaap Kool book, which is largely fantasy.... _____ From: SaxophoneRepair@yahoogroups.com ...
After a quick read of this article, I find that many of the points Bob Ackerman makes ring true with my own personal findings using these vintage saxes. I am a...
A Martin tenor is a very stable free blowing sax best suited to fast ... that Low Bb ... which makes ... (series I ... supposed ... meaning ... I have ... me...
On vintage sopranos,I have never heard anything quite like a 1924 silver straight Martin I recently aquired.I used a metal Ponzol M1 and it plays hugh and...
There are so many new horns that have copied and surpassed the Mark VIÂ keyboard that sooner or later the Mark VI giant may find it`s David! ... From:...
I have never found the articulated C# to be an issue, articulated G# yes which the series I aristocrat and Martins have. I find that the loose feeling of the...
The VI was state of the art in its day......but technology has advanced. We've learned a lot more about what goes on inside the horn, and players have begun to...
Truer words were never spoken! AMEN ... From: STEVE GOODSON <saxgourmet@...> Subject: RE: [SaxophoneRepair] Re: Your thoughts? Article by Bob Ackerman To:...
I prefer not having the hinge on the low B flat with the G# being articulated like the Yanagisawa 901 curved soprano.Very nice layout and when you play a low...
I studied bassoon at conservatory. If you know the bassoon as a player, you know it has very difficult keywork. My bassoon teacher was Sandy Sharoff. If you...

The finger grease does help your finger to slide easier but doesn't help the fact that the key spatula is located very close to the hinge point and requires a...
Have you looked at the price tag of a low serial Mark VI lately.That should give you an indication of why some are turned off with the Mark VI. ... From:...
Well, you get what you pay for! :-) Seriously though, some of the 6 digit horns have a great sound and you can get them for a reasonable price. I admit that...
I am not trying to be hostile, just posting an alternate point of view that is often overlooked. I have spent far too much time playing clarinet and there is...
I don't have anything against the Mark VI, or any Selmer horns for that matter, personally.... In fact, I've played a variety of Selmer horns (Soprano, Alto...
They command such a ridiculous price because unlike guitar players, your average sax players are not "into" saxes, they just want to play. After all, they...
"The corollary to this is most sax players don’t realize that the horns have advanced so much in the last bunch of years" You can say THAT again! I have to...
I agree with you. Again, coming from a more technically difficult instrument - bassoon - I have found that I can get used to and play any instrument I take the...
Indeed, snobbery has a lot to do with it. I see a lot of that in Miami although at FIU, Gary Campbell is pretty good about promoting other horns, mainly the...
