At one time the B&S Medusa was hot stuff here. Many were curious, many just had to have one, some bought them. I'm curious about who actually went out and bought one, tested one and/or still has one. Are you content?

Sure it does, it's a Medusa in all but name.58tenor said:Perhaps interest declined because they are no longer available. (or vice versa?)Does an Allora stencil count? ...
what do you intend with that question? (I´m very content with my Medusas... and all the B+S-saxes i know)gary said:At one time the B&S Medusa was hot stuff here.

It's a sad commentary when you have to explain yourself like that...Grumps said:... and please people, realize this is just a little ribbing between folks who can take it
Dear Morry,Morry said:I still have the desire to get one of the remaining BN CJS horns from WW&BW, but the absence of any parts for repairs has cooled me on the idea. I'm hoping some guy with money can figure out how to resurrect the brand.
I was just thinking about accidents that happen to guy's horns in clubs all the time. It's true that vintage horns have the same issue, but there are more of those around to scavenge for parts, if needed.Ruediger Kramer said:Dear Morry,
my B+S-horns are very sturdy... why should there break something? and the pads are the same as usual.
yes there are no parts left to repair the B+S-saxes, but that´s the "problem" for all owners of older saxes.
i´d like to buy myself one of this bn-altos at wwbw, but i have the silverplated alto and really don´t need a second one.
i think, to buy one of these lovely little things would make you happy... (could be the last occasion).
kind regards

The perfect reason to have two B&S saxes... (insert demonic laughter here)Morry said:I was just thinking about accidents that happen to guy's horns in clubs all the time. It's true that vintage horns have the same issue, but there are more of those around to scavenge for parts, if needed.
