Hey guys thankyou so much helping me in the other post on selecting a mpc. Now I want to try Tenor sax. Im between a custom kessler dark lacquer and an aliexpress mark vi copy which looks amazing. These are the two links. Which of the two would last me more in the long run? Thanks in advance...

I know this is a shot in the dark, but my dad has done so much for us that the least I can do is try. Back in 2012, my dad had to sell his favorite sax to pay our mortgage. I talked to the store it was sold to, and they were able to get me a serial number, but it has been long sold. SN...

Hello, Some people call their instrument a "screamer". What exactly do they mean by that and why is it desirable? Thanks!

I have an old R&C silver alto manufactured in 1920s (info from R&C themselves), what value might the saxophone have? The finish is very worn and it has a crack where the neck screw is attached, but it is still very playable.

A little bit of backstory- I work in instrument repair and come across a ton of instruments weekly. I just started in October, but there was a flute that had been sitting on the repaired shelf since early 2018. It was a Yamaha YFL-684, a discontinues 600-series model flute with an inline G and...
