So, this means that I've seen two of only 50.

what are some of the reasons they would make such a small amount? was there something wrong/bad with them? or did they not sell as well as hoped? I'm sure there are many reasons....maybe just to make it a collector horn!
Just curious Philip, do you have a source for that quote? It rings possibly true to me, but it would be cool to see who might be saying that.I did see written today about this very thing, some speculation that as they were so close copy of selmer paris, Selmer was gong to sue? That's what i have read anyways. Cheers, Philip

Um. That's more my fault. Well, I can also partially blame you for not reading the FAQ: http://www.woodwindforum.com/forum/index.php?threads/oh-noes-my-post-thread-says-its-being-sent-to-the-moderation-queue.23871/i do have a source for that quote....am i allowed to put it in here gandalfe? as you have deleted 2 of my quote posts already.....
cheers,philip
That's an argument with no bottom. As far as the sax, itself, you can only modify the cone so much before it's no longer a saxophone. Then you can try to debate whether the Eppelsheim Tubax is really a saxophone. Or if a Taragato is a wooden saxophone ... or the sax is a metal Taragato.I've often wondered how different horns can really be, obviously brand by brand there there will be differences in key height and other things, but there can't be THAT much difference sax to sax
You'd be surprised.hmmm very interesting.... thank you for all that info

this however is NOT what I tell customers when they want to know why a Yamaha is better for their kid. the subtle differences would only confuse a beginner anyway
I like to point out the differences between a Selmer Ref 54 and Ref 36 (numbers indicating the year model that was copied and improved.) My wife has a 54 and I have a 36 tenor. Every teacher and friend who have played the two prefers the 36, bigger sound. The ergos are the same on each. YMMV, but saxes can be *very* different from maker to maker and even model to model.hmmm very interesting.... thank you for all that info

The ST90 was made in Taiwan, IIRC. The EX, except for the original ones 20+ years ago is/was made by Amati. Trivia!I was just checking over a Keilwerth ST-90.
