Our previous forum moderator and resident saxophone historian, Pete “saxpics” Hales has written a new article for you vintage saxophone aficionados and for you who are pondering of getting a vintage horn:

http://www.saxontheweb.net/Resources/BestVintageSax.html
What is the Best Vintage Saxophone for Me?

In that he answers questions:
Why You SHOULDN’T Buy Vintage,
Why You SHOULD Buy Vintage and
So, Which Vintage Horn Should I Get?: The Best Saxophones

Pete relies in his research heavily on the SOTW Forum and its predecessor:<br><s>http://www.saxpics.com/SOTW_Archive/index.htm</s> (No more available)<br>
where you can find thousands of posts pertaining to vintage saxophones.
