I’ve seen this mouthpiece listed in eBay for a while, an unbranded plastic C-Melody piece sold by Mouthpiece Planet. I never bought it because I couldn’t find any decent information about it. the last time I walked away from it on eBay, the system apparently blabbed to the Seller that I had...

Hello! I've been lurking a while, and finally signed up so I could lurk some more... while trying to decide what make sax to start on. So this is kind of an introduction for me as well. I already play clarinet - not a genius or anything - I play for fun - and want to start learning the...

I have the opportunity to buy a Buescher True Tone C-melody sn 94xxx (1921), low pitch, for around 730 US$. The condition of the horn is great, with new pads. The finish is silver. Is this a fair price? Thank you for your help! -Trygve

Check out our good friend and P. Mauriat saxophone artist, James Carter, shredding on both a 1957 Selmer Mark VI c-melody saxophone (one of only 5 known to have been made) and a WWII era Selmer Balanced Action c-melody saxophone (one of only 4 known to have been made). James's performance...

Hello Everyone, I was browsing a salles website when I found this sax. The owner says it is in C and that is Selmer, but I'm not convinced it is a Selmer C-Melody, maybe a High Pitch Selmer Tenor? Can any of you shed some light on this? Thanks

I liked the thread(s) of Jacob, But I've seen a recent climb in C-melody players and intrest so I was wondering what people play on C-melody and what is their all time favourite... Tell me: If you had to go the rest of your days with ONE mouthpiece on C-mel. And only one, what would it be...

I'm probably picking up this old Conn C-Melody from an acquaintance. Help me check my research before I buy, please!! The asking price is $150 (plus the $60 in gas it'll cost me to get there and back). Totalled, I'd be in it for $210. Not sure how much work is needed, but it appears to have...

I've come into possession of a Wurlitzer American (Martin stencil) C-Mel that's in basically solid condition, but lots of rust and crud, and I'm assuming useless pads. It was acquired specifically to learn how to maintain and service a horn (without destroying a useable one during the learning...

Hi there I am really new in SOTW and this is my first post, i joined in because during my reserch on C melody sax's i stumble many times in this web site, and after some reading of posts i really thought "this people really now some things" :) . So i recently bought this...

I just got my new Aquila C Metalpro Widebody mouthpiece last night. I've only played it a little, but I can offer a couple of observations. (And bear in mind that I'm still very mich a beginner, limited skills and a limited range of other sax and mouthpiece experience.) Right out of the box...

Hi! I have looked at some threads about cleaning mouthpieces but I have found none that talked about a C-melody Buescher True Tone. I have a realy disgusting mouthpiece (just bought the C-melody) that I would like to clean and I don't know if it is made of hard rubber or ebonite, does anybody...

I want to disassemble clean and restore my 1921 Beuscher C Melody and replace the needle springs. I dont want to wait until I have it disassembled to measure and order the springs. Can anybody tell me a general reference of the spring sizes? I dont mind if I have a few extra of one or two sizes...

I Am now the proud owner of a Martin handcraf stencil C-melody saxophone. It came with case and a broken mpc.. the tip was just not there, but this wont be a problem as i`ve read on this forum and on Alan Tucker`s site. it was in quite ok condition, the pads were fine a few missing corks all...

My tenor MP is too large for the C-Mel neck cork. Currently have teflon tape wrapped to make up the missing diameter. What's the best way to keep it on? Alternatively, should I re-cork and if so, what thickness cork? (3/32" and sand down to fit?) Thanks, SteveM
