Great photo, then I checked your profile and I see you are a pro and I'm still impressed.

 

[sandeha_lynch]

LOL ... I can make it look good.

I'm still working on the sound !!

Hey, another 'bleedin white one' (sorry Pete). I must get a pic of my silvery Dolnet up here, that is if the memory of the saga of it has faded sufficiently from the collective mind. It's looking quite spiffing now I've given it a good go with the old cloth.

yam custom z is a really good looking horn.. i have the unlaquered alto,but the tenor looks a class act.. its just the simpleness of the thing...

i'm only commenting on looks now..not on sound but if it plays as good as my alto, i'm sure its a joy to play too.

I love the sound of it and the look of it. Have you ever tried a Custom Z tenor up against your Mk VI? Or am I just being provocative?

I've disposed of my 34 Chu in order to fund a new sop,
so this is my remaining choice of tenors:

hey Mod! Pete!! - whassup with my IMG tags ??

A good move as long as your home isn't infested by cats, dogs, small kids or a combination of the above! As i know to my cost!

A picture of my "The Martin Baritone" (212XXX -62). I use a Dukoff metal D9/BG std lig/LaVoz MH on the bari.

 

[Pete Thomas]

Very nice.

Can I have it?

Looks great. The Walstein brand is new for me. I haven't seen any in Sweden. Is it a Chinese (PRC) made sax?

My Martin Handcraft Std from -38-39, 128XXX. The thickwalled Martins with soldered toneholes produce a dark tone. The keys are solid nickel- silver. The thumbrest (left) is adjustable. I think the ergonoimics on "The Martin" is better. I have sterling silver Reso-Tech resonators mounted. Gives a brighter and louder sound. I prefer mouthpieces with baffle and medium chamber on Martins. The moutpiece is an old Czech-made. Before that I played a Dukoff X7. Ligature BG "FL". Reed LaVoz MH or H. A perfect horn for Blues, R&B and Rock 'n' Roll!

 

[onecat]

sweet looking Martin tenor, Thomsax. I think those Handcrafts are underrated. My 50's Martin Indiana alto was a killer player when I had it.

Yea, the Walstein is Chinese. It's a heavy, solid horn with quick action and a fat, beefy tone. I just got it playing recently so right now I'm in the bonding stage. I like to pretend it's some fancy expensive custom sax because it looks like one (the Inderstein?)

😀

Its about time I got around to putting this on here Walstein Bari Prototype.

Nice looking bari there col. Is that a washboard behind the couch cushion?

 

[thomsax]

Are the Waldsteins flexible when it comes to mouthpieces?

One Cat - I listened to your YouTube sound clip and both you and your sax sounds great. I'm guessing the Chinese saxes will be a hard competion for some manufactors. The Indiana from the mid 50's and later were infact a Committee I. The Martin factory retooled and sold the saxes as a secondline horn under the Indiana brand. Same bore and toneholes placement. Of course without nickel-silver keys.
