 Re: Mark VI Alto Sax

Hi,

But as I said in an earlier post on this thread "I wonder if in about 2030, will current Yamaha pro saxes become as coveted as older Selmers are now?"

This seems to be the pivotal issue since there are no more Mark VI being made (although Selmer has come our with several interesting reference models) so we are dealing with a known and defined parameter. As good as my Mark VI tenor and alto are, to me the Yamahas has a definte edge in projection and the intonation is just about perfect (and the price for one with all the whistles and bells is modest).

I guess a parallel would be are newer clarinets better than my classic clarinets (L200, R13, Series 9*); is a 1956 Ford TBird better than the technologically advanced but soon to be out of production current T-bird; and is the 8086 laptop that is somewhere in my closet worth using? Does technology trump traditional values? We are not talking Strads here, right?

This could be a whole new thread (sorry Mark C. and GBK).

HRL
