IMHO you're smart to eliminate the Selmer VI as they are pricey and inconsistent. I would expect less risk if you buy from them, but you will pay more than a private sale.įor example: Woodwind Exchange in Bradford In the UK there are dealers that sell vintage saxes. It also depends how far back you want to go - you can get models from the 1920's and early 30's, for example a Hawkes Twentieth Century if you want English nostalgia. some real bargains here.Ī host of German/Czech models (Amati, Keilwerth, Huller, etc.) (I don't know anything about these.) The other French manufacturers: Pierret, Couesnon, Buffet-Crampon, Beaugnier, SML. The one and only Selmer Mk VI, or earlier Selmers: BA and SBA (very expensive) There are lots of good ones for sale, and probably lots of bad ones too.
These are the ones I tend to think of first if we are talking about vintage nostalgia. Their best-known models tend to be on the expensive side, e.g.īut their student models, or less sought-after models can be very good too, and less expensive. The 4 great US manufacturers: Buescher, Conn, White (King) and Martin
