Vintage Horns Versus Newer Models

 

Vintage horns, those “oldie but goodies”  such as Conn-Selmer, Yamaha , Keilwerth etc..used to be referred to as the Gold Standard, the finest..etc, etc….

They are all time-tested, proven excellent reliable saxophones.  

Over the past 40 years or so, other, somewhat less expensive horns have become major additions to the market.  These new companies, many who have started out making saxophone parts, (in some cases for the “Vintage” models) are now producing excellent quality horns at affordable prices on the American marketplace.   

When spending a considerable amount of money to buy a professional horn, one should ideally be able to play the horn for a while in the store, however, with the shift in buyer shopping habits to the internet, it is not always possible to try a horn before purchasing.  The growth of the “Global Economy” has opened the market to many excellent quality horns from various countries.

Here at Old Dog New Saxophones we offer professional quality hand crafted saxophones  produced by the Gu Tai Corporation who’s president is  Chi Tsung Wang. GT-Sax

We have a 7 day return policy so that a buyer can try the horn and if it’s not a perfect fit, can return it for a FULL refund.
