It's funny the things we find to stress over!
I know! Crazy isn't it
How's your Tenor Sax hunting going?

FWIW I personally wouldn't bother with a metal mouthpiece on alto particularly - there are better ones out there - Barone Vintage HR (from Bill Lewington sale - £99), Phil-Tone Vintage HR (Custom order from US - about £125), Ponzol Vintage HR (www.sax.co.uk - about £100), Morgan Fry ( about £200)and others - following on from original Meyer mouthpieces. Or even a Francois Louis (less than £140 from Thomann).
Glad you like the Yani A901 - sounds like a good value purchase too!
Kind regards

4K is way, way to much for a 6 alto, 5 digit or otherwise, judging by your sig, it looks like you have pretty well covered yourself with regards to modern stuff.
If you really want something thats vintage and good why not look at something like a King super 20 ( which has the modern style keywork that you will already be used to) .
Question: why don't you like metal mouthpieces on the Alto (I've not tried one yet)?
...though Bird generally liked his Runyon 22 HR.
... I've started a thread about metal alto mpc's on "Breakfast Room" -sorry if my previous comment sounded doubting - it was just a playful aside...
Slowly. I want to get down to sax.co.uk in Denmark St. soon, but I'm sussing out my new PPT8* which is really different to my metal Yanagisawa #9. Reed problems too, which I now think are the result of not taking Legere's guidance and rotating three reeds.How's your Tenor Sax hunting going?
That's a lot of money. Too much.
