I have been playing the alto for 5 years, I’m in a high school band, and I want to step up to an intermediate or professional horn. I have about a 2000 budget, and I have looked at

Yamaha YAS475
Yamaha YAS62II
custom z’s are a little too much, but if I can get the money are they really good saxophones?
Selmer LaVoix
Jupiter 769GN

Those are the only ones I know of, any more suggestions? I don’t think I need a vintage horn if I’m in high school. Thanks!

Excerpt is from the Bach Sonata #1 in G minor (Bach Sonatas and Partitas). The violin is a very fine antique instrument made in the mid 19th century in Paris, France. One of the most beautiful instruments I’ve ever. At the end of the video, I tried to show the amazing micromosaic mother of pearl inlays in the double purfling outer band.

The stamping on the bell states its name & also Chicago / Brooklyn. It has a serial number of 4 digits starting with 3. Besides similar instruments on Ebay, I cannot find out any information about the horn or the early Gretsch company (before they moved into the guitar business). Anyone out there have any idea where I can find some information???? Thanks.

I’ve been playing for 16 years, and was looking to buy an intermediate to professional open wrap F trigger trombone, with a rose bell. Anyway, I went searching today, and found a vintage King Tempo with a silver bell (looks nice!), and no F attachment. It plays well, though, and it’s only $400 though. Is this a deal, or should I keep looking?!

Thanks!

I’ve bought a lovely 1924 Elkhart tenor trombone (as good as a King 2B, but for a tenth of the price), and love playing it, but most of the lacquer on the outer slide, and on the places where you hold the horn has worn away. Do I need to get the horn overhauled? What precautions should I take when playing to prevent causing damage to the instrument? I don’t want to cause it any harm…. it’s the nicest trombone I’ve ever played!

This antique instrument dates from the time of Mozart and requires great skill (and someone to crank!)

This is a Gem Roller Organ dating back to the late 1800’s. It was received in a shoe box that was only 2 inches high. It was found in the top of an abandon barn. It was totally restored, right down to the gold stenciling. Its now part of my personal collection. If you have Roller Organ or and other antique instrument that’s in need of restoration. Contact Robert at www.RobertsMusicalRestorations.com for all of your restoration needs.
