The 30M was never a stock item. It had to be specially ordered from the factory, and Conn built only about one 30M for every hundred 10M's made. Production ended when the factory converted to war work in the early 1940s, so the entire run lasted less than ten years. That makes the 30M one of the rarest professional American tenors of the golden era, and it is easily the most mechanically advanced saxophone Conn ever built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body and bore are the same as the 10M, so you get the same fat, spread, room filling sound that made the 10M famous.

This was Yamaha's top of the line tenor saxophone when it was introduced in the 1990s, and this is an early example. These are really incredible horns that I think feel better over time. They uniquely straddle the bridge between vintage and modern. They're still incredibly easy to play, with ideal ergonomics, superb intonation, lightning quick response and very even tone and dynamics across the entire register. But there's an incredible core to the sound that immediately puts my mindset into vintage sax territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sax was previously owned by a well known professional saxophonist. It was his main horn, so it does show quite a bit of honest lacquer wear. My repairman just overhauled the sax, so it has all new pads, corks and felts.

The F1 is one of Yamaha's early Custom necks, made from French style brass and offered only for tenor and soprano. It was never standard equipment on a US model and has been discontinued for years, so they're not easy to find, and gold plated examples are rarer still. Players seek them out for a centered, focused core with extra punch and projection in the upper register. On this 875, the F1 tightens up the sound and gives it a little more pop without losing the depth that makes these horns special. The previous owner chose this neck for his main horn, and after playing it, it's easy to see why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1812\" height=\"1019\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Drb-fTBjkw\" title=\"Yamaha YTS-875 Tenor 1649, Gold F1 Neck Demo | DC Sax\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43815519486015,"sku":null,"price":3900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/5373\/files\/sell-your-saxophone_222of346.jpg?v=1788298689"},{"product_id":"selmer-mark-vi-alto-saxophone-190710","title":"190,xxx Selmer Mark VI Alto Saxophone, Video, Just Serviced","description":"\u003cp\u003e1971 Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone, s\/n 190710.

But that only tells half the story. Selmer used two medium bow lengths during this run. The initial medium bow was slightly longer and was used up until around s\/n 201,xxx. After that, the bow became slightly shorter. Thanks to Douglas Pipher's work, you can identify the bow length from the logo design. Look closely and you'll see three wavy lines around the circled R on this sax. That means it's the slightly longer medium bow. Selmer removed the flourishes after 201,xxx to denote the shorter bow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does this mean in terms of playing characteristics? The longer medium bows tend to have a bit more body and depth, and are slightly darker sounding.
