I am trying to find out the background of my saxophones and when they were made. Also, in your professional opinion, what would they be worth today? I paid £295 for the alto in 1999, and £500 in 2000 for the tenor.I have had them for 16 years now and I am not intending to sell them anytime soon.

YANIGASAWA SAXOPHONES: During the 1970′s, the 3rd and 4th digit of the serial number indicate the year of manufacture. 1972 – 127 – 127 – 127 – 127 – 127 – 127 – 127 – 127 – 001 – 001 – 001 – 001. Also, the Cleveland has its own serial number chart and, while they have the distinctive keywork of other King saxophones, the body is rather dissimilar. The Buescher Elkhart is sort-of a stencil: an Elkhart-labeled horn is an older True Tone model, made with the same old tooling, but made in the 1930's (or so).
hello there..you will have to send a few photos of each horn,and more of a description of damage,last repadded,case/mouthpieces etc.. also sounds like you are in the UK? thanks,philip

I recently worked on an unusual alto saxophone with the name AmatiKraslice engraved on the bell. It needed quite a bit of work, but it seemed to be pretty well made. It was quite heavy and had the bell key mechanisms of the old Bueschers and a LH pinky table shaped much like a Martin I believe. Kuyhaa autocad 2017 tutorial.

Amati Saxophone Serial Numbers
• It works perfect with Windows XP SP2/SP3, Windws Vista SP1/SP2, Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OS X 10.5, Mac 10.6, Mac 10.7 operating systems. It can be used with any Huawei Modems.
The reason I am posting this is when I play tested the sax, it knocked my socks off. A beautiful even scale from top to bottom, a nice warm rich tone, and excellent intonation throughout the range. Has anyone else ever heard of or played one of these saxes made in the Czech Republic? One more time, I was taught the lesson to 'never judge a book.' This was obviously one of the earlier student models. I went to their website and they have several models above the equivalent of this one.
I would really like to try one of their more professional models, if the student horns play that well. Oh, I can tell you a lot about Amati saxophones. First, Amati was a 'nationalized' company that was made up of bits and pieces of other Czech (Markneukirchen) companies that were around pre-WWII. The fun part about that is that some Amatis used full bodies -- and sometimes keywork an/or model names, too -- from Kohlert, Julius Keilwerth models and probably other manufacturers. I think I've got some pictures: *. There are pics of full-on Keilwerth models in here, as well as 'Amati-assembled' horns with their own serial numbers. *, which has a Kohlert serial number.

This was student-quality and wholly made by Amati. There seems to have been at least one or two models after the Amati Toneking models and before the Classic Super, but I've not been able to get pics: I've just heard of them. Current Amati production is of instruments that have visual similarity to Yamaha horns, but aren't high quality. I bought one several years ago, because it came with a hard-shell formed case I wanted (good case + free sax).
It looked like someone had gotten plans from a YTS-52 and translated the measurements off by a couple MM, so some keys had to sit on flanges and such. It reminded me of some of the complex keywork on a Leblanc horn, but without the quality. Amati also makes the Keilwerth EX models, IIRC. Their website's at.
I worked on Amatis more than a few times, both saxophones and clarinets. I was never really impressed with them.

Nokia 7230 whatsapp messenger download. Not great quality of mechanics. The stock mouthpiece was always awful for the ones I saw but maybe just a coincidence. Some local players, including professional players, have Amati saxophones and really like them.
These are usually relatively older models. Some young students play realtively new Amati student models, both clarinets and saxophones. I always find problems with both old and new ones. Just yesterday I came back from Musikmesse and I tried the Amatis again (in addition to too many other things ). The ones I tried (bari, alto, tenor, sop clarinet, C clarinet, bass clarinet) didn't make me want to stay and try more.
Pretty much all were pretty decent, felt fine, sounded ok (with the exception of the C clarinet which seemed to have severe intonation problems, like my Forte made by Amati, in fact they seemed exactly the same) but nothing exciting IMO. I also tried some of their flutes.
I'm a beginner and can't really judge so much. I liked them less than other beginner flutes, though maybe it was leaking I don't know.
