Hey Guys,
Just thought I'd share my new tenor sax purchase with you. Got a second hand P Mauriat delivered from US for just $1,750!
Made in 2003 I think. Needed a good clean, clean and oil when I got it as played a lot and never serviced. Few errors in setup also but now all sorted, clean and now playing great (bit tricky to reassemble, sorry to admit but had to get wife to help :-(). It really does look awesome! To be fair, it's not a massive difference in sound to my YTS 32, and I could survive well without it, but just wanted to get a slightly more dark, smokey jazz sound, which this seems to have. Also it seems a tad louder / thicker in places but most people could probably hardly tell the difference in sound. Came with 2 necks also - original and Super Jazz IV.
P.S. just had a good play along to some backing tracks and lovin it! Goes up to 11 when you need it to!
It would be worth getting for looks alone, see pics from seller: http://s1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb332/Todd_Sneeringer/P%20Mauriat%20PXMT%2066R%20Tenor/
Really looks the part for jazz etc. Looking forward to playing more - sounds files to follow shortly 🙂...
