Hi
Looking to get an EX90 Alto as back up /second horn and use in Horn section I play with.
I used to own a SX90R Alto until 7yrs ago late 1980s sold for £1200 and now regret selling.I miss that "Phat sound".... I brought a SA80 mk1 alto after, but it's had a busy life and could do with a major overhaul ,but that's another story.
So i'm looking to spend up to £1000 = $1300 max.Max for a tidy EX90 mk1 or 2.
I've read a fair few review and post's here so I'm aware of the pro's and con's
It's the prices ,I have my eye on 3 or 4 ....there's 1 gold lacquer series 1 almost as new for £740 ($970)+ another series 2 for £700($920) both sound as though they are as good as new.
But the one I fancy is a Black Nickle series 1 But at £1200 is this too much ,but is open to offers ??? It's mint and was kept as a back up horn so is this a silly price,I need a few pointers
And is it sufficiently different Tone wise to justify the price.... I,m guessing £1000
These are all private sales so i need to travel to try each one,but fortunately in and around London or that way...
