Gary's asking about Medusa Mania on the B & S section leads me to ponder what sax buying enthusiasms we've had since I came around the forum - AND - what is the next wave?
We've had lots of Yamaha enthusiasms.
There was the reaction against the voldemort horns - Part I (Unison) and Part II (LA Sax).
Keilwerth's, particularly shadows were hot for a time.
Did cannonballs really get off the ground? Not sure. I think the stone series (especially rocks on the necks) started to seem silly to me.
Then there was the very hot B & S mania (I bought a matched pair of alto - tenor) and love 'em. The Guardala's, Chicago and New York Jazz specials were just more of the B & S phase.
On came the Mauriats - and I see their prices going up and up.
What's next?
Should we get a Stephanhouser now while the price is still a good deal - before they possibly get popular and go Mauriat on us?
What about the plastic sax?
Your thoughts, Please?
