About $3. Mark VII's, tenors ESPECIALLY, are some of the most
tempermental saxes I've laid my lips upon. Yet another milestone in the
Selmer tradition of making something good worse (Mark VI to Mark VII, the
70's model 33 bass to the 80's model 33...).

Well, that's my opinion, for what it's worth.
