I'm gonna try and keep this short. So I have a slight obsession with black lacquered saxophones. So far I have a pretty cheap LA Sax Soprano black with gold keys but it gets the job done, as well as a Selmer SA 80 serie 2 same color. I'm looking for a tenor eventually and wanted to know of the...

I have just uploaded a number of print materials to the Vogtländische Musikinstrumentenfabrik GmbH Markneukirchen (VMI) section of Bassic Sax. VMI is the acronym for the parent company that made B&S saxophones AFTER Germany's reunification. Hope you find them useful: Codera Brochure 1992...

Guardala black nickel Pro Custom alto on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dave-Guardala-Black-Nickel-Pro-Custom-Alto-Saxophone-/173697728217?oid=173686684287 I've never played a Guardala but reading up on them it sounds like people have high opinions of the B&S horns, but that there are also new...

I'm borrowing my uncle's sax, a 'Trafford' tenor, built by B&S in 1980, and it came with this mouthpiece. It is an ebonite piece, and the only engraving I can find on it is the number 3. As you can see, the lig and cap are Selmer, but they seem a bit small for the MP. I've seen similar unbranded...

Hello all. I'm selling my silver Guardala tenor. Made in Germany, New York series, serial 013,xxx. It's in fabulous condition, almost all of the original silver still remains. Just a few scratches and wears on the back where the neck strap hooks. I'm a pro player, and have kept it well...

Hi guys, I'm completely new to Saxophones, but having played Jazz Band in high school (at the time I was a trombonist) made me really admire the beautiful sound of Tenor saxes, which is why I am seriously considering to start learning how to play Tenors. At the moment after visiting a local...

I have played tenor since I was a child and had never played alto, but have become increasingly curious about playing alto as well as tenor. I was all set to buy a cheap student Yamaha (I had found a YAS-23 for 150 dollars on craigslist) when I saw an ad for a Chicago Jazz Series Alto. I...

I couldnt resist and picked the alto up from a local store after testing it, and some others. It suited well my fingers and was way better and easier to play on than my old cheap chinese build one. It is new, never used other than tested. Everything in Norway is xpencive, so I had to pay...

Hi. I've just get a B&S soprano, s. # 13xx, so it's from 70s I suppose, GDR made. It's in good condition but needs some minor fixes and adjustments. Some corks are missing here and there and things like that, the pads are ok. It came with three mouthpieces: selmer classic metal, yamaha 4c and...

Hey there everyone! I have this B&S Alto Sax that I am looking to get rid of, but I have no idea of the value of the horn. Before you ask, I'm selling it so I can afford a new (old) tenor to replace my student model Jupiter (I'm more of a tenor guy :mrgreen:) It's a Series 2001 Alto serial...
