I have a question for anyone who has come across an older Amati horn. I have a chance to score a Super Classic Amati Kraslice tenor from a garage sale in a few weeks for about 200 cash. I have no further info on this horn other than the fact that it is a brass lacquered model with minimal scratches and was purchased by the current owner in the 80's. No mouthpiece with the horn, the claim it is in great shape. I play alto with my group primarily but we just lost a tenor player and need some people to fill in. I used to play tenor in school so I am looking to score a tenor for not too much (I just bought a MK VII alto) cause the wife would kill me if I spent more than a few hundred. Anyone think this would be a bad option, should i hold out and look for another horn? Thanks for the input.

I just got a King Lemaire which is the same as the Super Classic. It was unplayable when I bought it off of Ebay but I paid so little for it I just decided to let it slide. I showed it to my repairman and he wants 300 bucks to get it back into playing condition. I balked on the repair because I have 5 other saxes to play. It looks like a really well made and crafted sax, it seems to me it would have a Conn 10M vibe to it. Now I'm curious about it, looks like I'll be taking it in.
