Selmer (Paris) Mark VII #295744 The Mark 7 got a bad rap when it was released in the early '70's. The Mark 6 was a tough act to follow. Time has softened the blow, however. The 7's are very nice professional saxophones. The horn feels "bigger" in the hands, due to larger plateau and pinky keys, something that has become standard in most saxophones today. You really should not rule these horns out if you are looking for a professional vintage alto at a resonable price. Pics

Conn "Transitional" Alto, #M243506. Made in 1930, these horns were a "transition" from the New Wonder model to the 6M, or "Lady Face" model. It has characteristics of both: the micro-tuner neck of the 6M; the back Eb key of the earlier New Wonder. This one is satin silver plated, with incredibly ornate Art Deco engraving on the bell. Overhauled in our shop back in 2015, it still has plenty of life in the pads Great playing, vintage sound and classy looks!
