Damn Steve!!! I didnt know you played the sax, I played for about 6 years, then focussed more on sports....I have a pretty good sax i need to sell as well.

Steve, I was all over this until I saw that it's black lacquer. I need a better alto and have put off getting one since I play far more tenor, but things are coming to a head.

I had no idea you played, man. What kind of gigging do you do? Also, just for giggles, what kind of mouthpiece/reed setup do you use?

Mark VI saxes rule. There are NONE higher.

Actually I did like the tone. Just personal judgements and issue why I am selling it.

Jose I started playing in HS and kept on playing... I did stop for three years and jumped in again when I met a girl who played professionally for the Chicago Symphony. I haven't stop since then.

Kent sorry man.. Yeh it is a black lacquer (it does look good but I like the old fashion look better). I know that you play and teach, I believe, last time we talk over at Ben's house. We even talked about putting an SR20 band!

I am using the S-90 mouthpiece with #3 Hemke reed. I was using the Larry Teel C* for quite a while until a friend introduce me to the S-90. I also would like to try out the Vandoren.
