This feature drastically improves low end response and offers the player a wider palette of tonal color. More elaborate with finer detail, the new engraving design offers delicate beauty. The new 82ZII also features domed metal resonators that offer an outstanding response and deliver a wider dynamic range. The entire range of the instrument has a clearer pronunciation, providing effortless playability all around. The wide bore taper of the V1 neck provides offers a free-blowing feel and the greatest possible flexibility. This combination of features allows the player the ultimate level of tonal expression. An improved mechanism from low B to C# ensures a proper seal for these notes, which promotes a clear response throughout the low range of the instrument. A lighter thumb hook and thumb rest base design produces better response and a more cohesive tone. An adjustable Front F mechanism gives the player the freedom to find the optimal level of resistance in the altissimo range."	SOLD Yamaha YTS-480 tenor sax. The successor to the 52 and the 475 model.

BUESCHER
SOLD Buescher “400”, #433058 (1966) Read this quote about the Buescher 400's: "The “Buescher 400? was their most advanced professional entry into the saxophone market and was the highlight of their resumption of production after WWII. They also continued to make “The Aristocrat” at the same time. What distinguished the Buescher 400 from the Aristocrat was a larger bell, silver plated key mechanism with a lacquered brass body, highly ornate raised engraving, and options of silver or gold plating for the body and key mechanism the patented “Norton” threaded gold-plated springs, and, the underslung octave key on the neckpiece. This model had slightly larger inner bore dimensions than other models of the period which gave them a bigger sound more conducive to Jazz. The “Aristocrat”, on the other hand, was a decidedly “sweeter” sounding instrument, yet still very powerful." This sax, while probably not of the same vintage as an early or mid 1950's "Top Hat and Cane" model (worth about $4000 today), has all the characteristics and is very much of a vintage, professional nature. It does have the silver plated key mechanism with a lacquered brass body, highly ornate raised engraving, on the key mechanism the patented “Norton” threaded gold-plated springs, and, the underslung octave key on the neckpiece. About 85% original lacquer, the engraving on the bell reads sideways "Buescher 400", (and not "Aristocrat") and is super deep and sharp. Newly repadded with the classic Buescher "Snap-On" pads. Huge deep sound! Fair price at $1500 for this classic, Free-blowing sax!

Martin Handcraft, “Master Deluxe” #79395 (1927) Gold Plated! Early Handcraft model, these are rare as Martin mainly made altos before the Committee and then The Martin Series, very similar in lineage to the other Handcraft listed, but…this one is Gold Plated (original gold plate), largely clean with some wear, and with beautiful Art-Deco/”Portrait” engraving (with silver inlay) on the bell; most likely done by the same master engravers of the 1920’s that worked on the famous Conn “Portrait” saxophones-the work is that similar! (Stenberg Bros. Conn Master Engravers). Gorgeous floral design in great detail and then…a pretty “Swan on the Lake”. This looks like it was repadded a long time ago, but the pads are worn and need to be replaced. Also, along the way, some one or another removed the key work and put a soldered in plug in the alternate Eb (famous to these early Martin’s and Conn’s of the day), that sits immediately above and to the left of the regular Eb tone hole. Free of dents and dings save for a Couple of small bumps on the bow, can be worked out easily. Matching serial number on the neckNot in the original case. Eminently collectible, still.
