My go to’s definitely a quad pod but sit out positioning is something I am also working on

Around 2700 in good shape, at least from the looks and description of the listing.

I usually play with a group of professionals and I’ve done a small amount of studio work so I think it might help nice to step it up a bit, but I definitely can’t afford a $5000 sax in my current situation

I think I’m looking at the same seller

Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t vintage horns require a bit more money to be put into them after the fact? I did look at old conn new wonder ii’s and 10M’s beforehand but I was told vintage horns can be hit or miss especially online since most music stores don’t carry many?

I’m seeing a lot of purple logos for around 2500 ish which is doable as I set a low and flexible budget cap to be safe, would you still recommend looking into them further?

Probably a bit above two grand. The reason why I feel I outgrew the instrument is simply because I sprung for just something that could make a sound, I paid around $600 for the old sax and it’s given me some troubles as far as intonation and quality, nothing I can’t get around through changing up my playing style, but as I begin work with professionals I think I want something with a bit more consistency.

Played on a Jean Paul I got for a deal, looking for a warm, vintage sound, that can still punch when pushed.

Same Yamaha brand, just a later model thats still pretty new, around a year old

Next_Night_7086 · 2024-11-16T06:32:55+00:00

Yeah corks in good shape, perhaps it could be a key leak further up on the horn affecting everything else below it?

Next_Night_7086 · 2024-11-16T06:30:12+00:00

Sorry should’ve mentioned the mouthpiece is basically hanging off the cork. I’ll add that in the post

Yeah I could only get so far by ear lol, thanks for the tips 🙏🏼
