Saxophones De-Mythifying the Purple Logo

so, what's the verdict here? What difference will it make to my 62 mk1 alto if I upgrade and put a G1/3 neck on? Or... would it be better to save the pennies and wait to upgrade to 82Z ? - Oh no, I foresee a trip to woodwind exchange and ... well.. we all know how that goes!!

I thought the sound of my YTS-62 MK-I too shrill. Making an adaptation to use the G1 neck, you'll get a more velvety sound. Really makes a difference in sound. It can be an alternative if you are not willing to invest in a 82 or 875 now.

Can't be too much of the Third World if all sax players are playing 62 series Yamahas and Mark VI Selmers...

From what I remember the kkk is absolutely nothing to LOL about .......

Most look for 62 Mk1s (and 61s) for the shrill sound , I love it in an Alto but not in a Tenor, my 62AG Mk2 is just fine

In web chats in Brazil we laugh loud writing "kkkk"...
But I will remember to write LOL from now on

This for sale in Brazil (+- US$ 1,600.00). What is "low pitch"?

This too. More or less US$ 2,000.00. Is it a good sax?

Nice sax. Low pitch is normal, just what you want. Try one before buying. Sensational sound. Comm II Martins are pro range. I have two Imperials, one Comm II and a Martin Master "Typewriter" all altos.

The advertise says that it is silver with golden keys and with the same serial number written on neck...

Give it a look. There is a website called something like "the Martin story" where you will get all info relevant to that tenor. They are regarded as excellent horns. I also have other horns such as Cannonball, Yams, etc but my heart is with Martin (and the YTS 62 and 875 Yams!)

One does not have a Lear jet because One needs one.
One has one because One can have one, or two.
