>Current models include the Series 10G (for Gigliotti), a symphonic model;
the 10R (a heavywall model) for solos and smaller ensembles, I believe; and
the 10S II (general purpose all around playing). Differences are mosly
confined to bores. Keywork is essentially identical. The Series 10's have
been out at least since 1970 or so (mine is 1971). The Series 9 is also
highly regarded, I hear, maybe more so than the 10's. Centered Tone and
Balanced Tone models preceeded these. Hope this helps.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
