Dave, There are of course a LOT of good saxes out there and it is lunacy to say there is one best or one size for everyone. I joined this group several years...

It is always a good idea to have a tec. on hand as you play test! All horns need a "tweek" or two! My C-balls have been cared for and perfected by Bill...
