There is an interesting discussion on a German Sax-Forum. The question was: what distiguishes the sound of vintage saxes from the sound of modern horns?
General opinion so far seems to be that although different horns (or makes of horns) sound distinctly different, there is no specific sound that can be attributed to a certain period of saxophone manufacturing.
In other words: There ist no "vintage sound", just different sounds of different horns.
What do you think?
