dont go around saying stuff like that, each sax has a personality for the player, i have tried many selmer and keilswerth sax`s but the didnt fit me. i just set up this thread to find out what people here owned and the kind of playing you do, not to be commented on.

I own an Australian brand called Solo, it`s my first saxophone that i`ve owned and it was REALLY resistant. But i figured it would help with my breathing if i could figure it out, and it has. It`s also helped with getting in tune and stuff, and now it has a really great tone.

Next time i buy a sax though, i would like a selmer because my friend has one and she sounds great.

I guess it doesnt matter what brand you have though, as long as it`s not COMPLETELY crappy. I mean, they`re all standardised and stuff.

It`s more technique then the actual sax brand.

indeed.
I tried my friend`s Bundy, and I could produce a decent sound with it, technique was pretty crappy, the Bundy keyboard is weird and I couldn`t get used to it.

I think every sax is unique and for some people they dont have to have a Selmer or whatever to be happy as they do not suit them. Just cause someone has a Yamaha or a Yangisawa or whatever doesnt make the instrument automatically crap- I just bought my first pro sax (Im only 17) which is an Australian Brand called Temby. I played 3 different Yamahas (62, a Z and another one cant remember), 2 Yangisawas, a couple of Older Conns, couple of Keilwerths and even a couple of Selmers and yet I decided on this Australian sax, cause I just found it totally awesome. Its price was good too and while I know there is an aura round the Selmers etc, i think for many they are not the right sax. Often all you are doing is paying for the brand name, when there is a lot of quality out there available!.
Cheers

I have a selmer Aristocrat. It plays great. I chipped my mouthpiece though and my parents won`t let me buy a new one yet,but besides that it plays great.

If you know anything about the Selmer Aristocrat please tell me

I play a copper-gold borgani. I like it because it sounds a lot like a markVI except it has better intonation.

I dunno, just ones ot get me by ^^; Being 15, I really don`t have the funds to get a NICE sax yet.

Altos: Kind (ick), Antiqua (decent)
Tenor: Jupiter. (I didn`t even know they existed. The metal is actually kind of soft, and it has a nice sound)

As of now, I only own a student model Yamaha alto sax...which isn`t great for me in any means, except maybe to sell! I play an intermediate Yamaha Tenor Sax and its definitely not bad, but not the greatest. In the near future, I plan to buy a Selmer Reference 54. I`m not going with a Selmer Series II or III because they tend to have intonation problems. I`ve played the Reference 54 and its simply amazing, very responsive...I can`t wait to own one!!!
