Had an 82Z UL that I figured I just wasn't going to play much so I sold it. Sure enough, a week later, I get a call for a new but easy gig not needing a killer ax. Time to buy a new horn. But since alto isn't my main horn (and I'm saving for a Ref 54 tenor (at least I think that's what I want)), figured since Dave Kessler steered me well for the $ on my 590LQ Antiqua sop, I'd give him a call and talk about my needs.
Figured I'd buy the Unison 2000 but based on what I'm looking for and need, he talked me into the Kessler red brass with the copper bell and bow that was the factory goof. ( http://www.kesslermusic.com/KesslerCustomSax/kcadc85/copper.htm ). Upgraded the extra $80 too for the short shank MP they created.
Figured what the hell. Haven't read anybody yet say they aren't great horns for the bread. Worst case, I'll return it and dig deeper and get the Yani 901 or even the 991. But I'm betting that Kessler's better than my alto skills are anyway.
So, very much looking forward to getting the horn next week.
