For 30 years ago I had a small business that sold saxes, books, records, accessories ..... . It was a very small business directed to Rock & Roll Saxophone. For some days ago I was looking for old pictures of my saxes. I took 4-8 photos of the saxes. I had a Nikon EM. So if a person was interested in 3 saxes I put 15-18 photos in an envelope and mailed them. The guys who wanted info were often living on the countryside. I remember one guy who lived up in the real north. He had an old tenor and was looking for "new" one. I recommeded him to replace some pads, buy a new mouthpiece and ligature. He also liked Rock & Roll Saxophone. I sold John Laughter's books ("Rock and Roll Saxophone" and "Contempoary Saxophone") to him. He had a Hi-Fi with CC player. For some years I mailed him lots of CC's with rocksax music. He reorded himself on a CC and he was good. He was around 60 years old back then ..... . I really miss this way to do "business". I never made any profit.
Today we spend lots of time talking about fake saxes, bad saxes, what we have read on internet ..... . The photos below shows a late Conn Artist 6M -57 and a King Student -75, model 615K. I never wrote that the saxes were the same as Conn 6M from the 30's without rolled tones or same as King Super 20 with bell keys on left side ........ .
