If you love long, low tones, and have a willingness to be the heavyweight holding down the line, you should be playing baritone. Or, if Adrian Rollini inspires you, make the bass sax your baby. Any of the horns below should satisfy...
• Horns marked with an asterisk (*) are scheduled for a standard VintageSax pad job. This means the sax will be completely disassembled, cleaned, polished, have necessary dentwork completed, and have any play in the mechanism eliminated. New pads will be floated in, and all corks and felts replaced; typically, I use Ultrasuede on the bar keys and teflon on sliding surfaces.
• Please click on the links at the various instruments to see pictures! To enlarge photos, double click on the photo and then click on the orange square with arrows.

| Conn | Silverplate | New silver plate with gold-plated bell interior! "Ladyface" engraving, rolled tone holes, and original pearls. New pads with flat metal resonators. This early 12M dates to 1933, and has been completely restored. It booms out with a fat, round, lush tone that comes only from the best Conns...and has easy action and response. | Call or write Vintagesax@aol.com |
