Hola,
Been playing since I was 12 (more than 20 yrs ago). Playing off and on for the last 5 yrs. Just trying to chat with fellow sax players and swap ideas and stories.

Welcome to the forum! I haven't looked up your bio yet, but what horns do you play?

Currently have a mismatch of horns:
1929 Conn Alto - Claude Lackey 5*
Olds Superstar Alto - Dukoff 6
Monique Tenor - Dukoff 7
Vito Tenor (backup horn)
LA Sax Soprano - Bari 5
I'm currently in the market for a new tenor. Can't decide between a vintage horn or a new one. It'll take some reading and alot of test drives. |

| Yes satin silver with the gold wash inside the bell. Also has the funny G# trill key and the "fine tune" neck. I'll get some pick up over the weekend. |

Nifty. Does that date it to a New Wonder model? I tried to win one of those on Ebay, but lost by $5
My old Buescher is the same finish type, but obviously has no tuner neck. My tenor is a Conn 16M-- an old one made in the USA-- which I love, and I have my first sax, a 1986 Yamaha YAS-23 alto, which I will probably march with. But I might just have to bring the old Buescher to practice sometime, to get some reactions!!!
Looking forward to the pics! |

| Yes it is a Chu Berry. Serial 166,XXX. I have the original case, mouthpiece and letter from the Conn factory with it's born date. Quite a little find for $50. |

| Krickey---- $50 ----- wow, what a deal. That's mind boggling. And I thought $300 for my old Buescher was good, sniffle. Have you tried any tenors yet? Any ideas on what you'll get? |

$50 from a pawn shop, but you should have seen the horn. No pads, it was completely black with tarnish. I did most of the clean up work myself, but it still needs to get overhauled by a good sax man. Hopefully this summer.
I did try a 10M tenor a few years back. Great horn. Beautiful sound. I just didn't have the cash at the moment. I've been thinking it might be nice to have a matching pair of Chu's. (ha that sounds funny) I'll see what I can get. |
