. Once you get over a certain quality threshold (which all the above do) the main impact on sound is the player, then the mouthpiece/reed combination, and lastly the sax.
Jon I hope you don,'t mind me using your comments to start this discussion. I am very much a beginner and have seen this quoted before by many players. I fully accept that a good player will sound good on any sax. When I bought my 62 sop there was a definite something else in my tone that I didn't achieve on the Trevor James. I have just spent the afternoon with @aldevis and had a blow on the Sequoia K91 and there was a discernible difference in tone using same mouthpiece reed and lig...
It just makes me wonder if the sax can impact on the sound as much as the mouthpiece or reed?
For anyone wondering the K9 to my ears was a fuller richer tone........
