Greetings & salutations,
I new to this forum; however, I would like some opinions and advice on the future purchase of a Tenor saxophone. Currently I own a Woodwind Tenor sax that I purchased about 9 years ago. I use a Guardela MBII mouthpiece with it. I have not played in seven years (long story ...) and I started again this past summer. I own a Selmer Paris alto super action 80 II and I am very happy with the tone and response that it gives me. I use it with a Dukeoff mouthpiece. I was able to play on a Selmer Paris Tenor super action 80 II for a while when I was playing; therefore, I am familiar with the sound and feel of the saxophone overall. I have not played the new reissue of the Marke VI Selmer Paris Model 74 "Reference 54" Tenor Saxophone. Unfortunately where I live now I am unable to playt test these two saxophones. The only music store that is here locally does not carry such models unless I special order. I am torn between buying the new reissue selmer paris Mark VI tenor or the selmer paris super action 80 II silver plated tenor sax. Any comments, opinions, or advice? I would appreciate the help thank you.
