Saxophones P.Mauriat PMXT-66R Vintage or Gold Lacquered?

[Sherrington]

I think the fact Mauriat stopped making this model probably says something ?

Means nothing really. Bet most players wish that Selmer still make the Mark vi

I had a 66R DK as my main gigging horn for many years. They play beautifully, really responsive, powerful and extremely easy to work with...

What horn supplanted it ?

Perhaps an apples and oranges argument, though.
Significant difference between a company which decides to cease a model which had been in production for 30+ years vs. a company which pulls a model which had been available for maybe a decade....

Er ; yeah ok...

A Sig Custom Tenor- quite a similar vibe but a slightly more consistent response from top to bottom....

hey man, i just bought it. did it happen to you that when you played C with the octave key pressed, it was too high (too sharp)?. Is that normal or is it because the sax is not tuned well? Thanks

To check it I play middle C fast without the octave and then with the octave. It slightly goes higher
