I talked to a rocksax friend the other day and he want to buy a ”new” sax. He asked me if he shold buy an older (vintage) or a modern one. I sudjested that he should look for a modern sax because right now there are not so many good older saxes for sale her in Sweden. He can spend 15000 s e k (1 £ = 10,00 s e k ) + the money he get for his Yamaha student tenor. I told him that he should spare some thousands (s e k !) for a service. I think a service at a tech is around 1000-2000 s e k: This is what we found:
Yamaha YTS-62S, 15000 s e k. Nice one.
Selmer Super Action 80, 17 000 s e k.
Buffet Crampon Dynaction -55, 13 000 s e k.
Selmer Super Action 80 serie ll, 15 000 s e k. BL.
Yanagisawa T-990 U, 16 000 s e k. Silverplated body and gl keys. Underslung octavekey
Yanagisawa 880 15 000 s e k. Underslung octavekey. I owned one like this for some years ago. Very nice sax, but I missed my old Martin tenors … so I sold it.
Jupiter XO ul 17 000 s e k. Nice. Like new.
Yamaha YTS 62. 13 000. From early 80’s. Good horn.
And some other saxes that costs more than 20 000 s e k .
Selmer tenorsax ref. 36, 25 000 s e k.
Selmer Reference 54 Tenor 30 000 s e k. Matt Otto Link mpc, walt Johnson case. Seems to be very nice. Not much for for a horn like this!!!
P.Mauriat 66 RX Influence 24 000 s e k. Bam case + Ritter case.
SYSTEM-76 24 000 s e k
Yamaha YTS 62 22 000 s e k (bought new last year).
I also recommended to try a new Bauhaus Walstein M2 for 16 000 s e k. The dealer is just a couple of miles from our places.
We didn’t look at action sites like Ebay. Saxes above are private sales. I think it’s a good selection of saxes? BTW, I have never seen that many Selmer MK VI for sale here in Sweden as I can see today.
