Hi,
I'd like to write my final entry on this thread and tell you briefly about the NOS Super 80 alto I got recently on a well-known auction site. A beautiful instrument that had been purchased in 1982 or so and then never played. I did have to have a few pads reseated and then away I went.
The price I paid for this beauty was about the same as I would have paid for a new Yamaha 62II and I think I got much more saxophone for the money. I am switching between a Selmer Short Shank E and my trusty Meyer 6M mouthpieces and both work fine. I have found that a VD V2 and a Berg 105 0 M can make this baby really sing as well.
As good as my Mark VI? Actually better but I am still learning more about the new alto every day. Easy response in all registers including the altissimo. Good ergonomics, yes.
From the SOTW site I learned that this model, since replaced by the II and II is thought to be a more classical instrument. I have had no problems playing all styles.
Funny, I never though my coveted Mark VI would ever be a back-up!
