Saxophones - Vintage

There are some very classy options available under the heading of the CLASSIC VINTAGE AMERICAN SAX, and at the Blowout Sax school we recommend and sell these and this is why...

Unlike many of today's shiny but thinner sounding Saxs, vintage Saxs are often the product of considerable originality of design and offer a variety of sounds. Be aware, though, that each manufacturer named below made many different types and makes, right up to the mid-60s.
US Saxs manufactured and made by CONN were played by US jazz legends Lester Young and Gerry Mulligan. Conns of note are 'Pink Ladyfaces' and 'underslung'.

Blowout Sax's US jazzman, Craig Crofton, plays a Conn 10-M Pink Lady Tenor with David Guardala mouthpiece. It is fully reconditioned and the lacquer has gone off two thirds of the instrument, which gives it its rich, dark tone. Conn's of this era were made with heavy brass, and bells were bigger than horns of a later era. This provides a loud projection, good for big bands and anything else for that matter.

A vintage Sax is a valuable instrument and is well worthy of renovation and restoration in the hands of an expert repairer. If you want a horn to sit in your home and tell you tales of where it's been and what its done, one of these vintage Saxs is the horn for you. But beware… there are many different makes and models. You can trust Blowout Sax only to sell what we, as active gigging, recording, teaching and seasoned professional Saxophonists, believe in… a good quality Sax.

And YOU buy what you FANCY and what FEELS right for you. So, you have the option of getting something classy at the price of a student model…
IT'S REALLY DOWN TO YOU.

BUESCHER TRUTONES and ARISTOCRAAT 400 are magnificent pieces of craftsmanship and beauty. Equally, the MARTIN has a smooth, honeyed sound as once played by the very great Art Pepper. Other names to conjure with are KING ZEPHYRS, VITOS, YORK and HOLTON.
