I have an Evette alto saxophone with a serial number of 45xxx. There is also "Italy" engraved under the serial number. Can anyone tell me about this instrument? How old is it? I haven't been able to find much information about it. Thanks in advance!
Just seen this for sale. I have done some reading but really I dont have a clue about these horns. The problem is that it does not have it's original crook but apparently has one from a later model. The seller claims this horn is approx from 1952... 2166921670216712167221673
Any thoughts on this horn from you guys who know about these? Thanks in advance! http://cgi.ebay.com/Buffet-Super-Dynaction-Professional-Tenor-Saxophone-WOW-/260616937289?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cadfadf49#ht_3115wt_1190
Hi Folks, I've read on here that the tonal qualities of the Dynactions-Super-D's changed through the years, gaining edge and perhaps 'brightness' in the later models. Has anyone played an early SDA, around 58/59 and have thoughts on its general tonal qualities, particularly for a trad...
This question is about the contemporary Buffet made in China - the Buffet 400, not the older Buffets. I've read a little about it and on the forum but mostly other Chin-Taiwan-ese saxes get much more attention. I recently read two very favourable reviews of the Buffet 400 alto and was wondering if...
hey all, i'm new here and have this old sax that my grandfather was going to give away. it's in GREAT shape, considering he has owned it for over 60 years. the silver is a bit tarnished, but if i took a jewelry polishing cloth to it i could really get it to shine. i'm afraid that if i do anything...
A guy i know today call me up and wants to know if I want to buy a sax....This is what he has it's in poor shape! I told him i would see if it was worth anything other than making a lamp or wall ornament out of it....Any one have any opinions about this horn? ...

Dear All, I am wondeirng how many of us here do play Buffet SDA soprano. Mine is 70xx early one. It has very distinctive sound compare to other sopranos I have tired. Thicker and darker - which I love. I decided to sell my P Mauriat System 76 2nd ed. to focus on SDA. Anyway, I encounter one...
I ordered a Buffet 400 series bari on clearance from samash.com for $2500 yesterday. I almost bought a kessler but the red brass bari would have been too dark sounding. Dave was a joy to chat with as always.Lauren Sevian is a Buffet artist and endorses the 400series bari and she has tried alot of...

I have a friend in Italy who is raving every day with me about how good is his new Buffet 400 tenor, bought in the UK for rather cheap. He's a guy who plays a Mark VI, so quite a connoisseur... He was supposed to buy a P.Mauriat but, having tried both in the shop, left with the Buffet. Who has...
My 13 year old has been playing for several years and is doing very well - he plays 10+ hours/week and holds his own with students with 4-5 years more experience in the various groups that he plays in. He particularly enjoys the jazz band that he plays in. In short he's very serious and committed....
I recently just got a wonderful dynaction tenor. I was wondering if anyone used any aftermarket necks on theirs before? Ive seen feedback on barone necks on SDAs but im not sure about Dynactions. Im interested in the saxgourmet copper necks. Anyone suggestions or information will be greatly...

I bought this horn off Ebay about six months ago. It was completely tarnished and needed pads as all of them were to thick. I took the horn apart myself, cleaned everything up, pulled the pads and dropped it off to my tech about 1 month ago. I opted to have Roo pads put in with oversized metal...

Hi, I have an old alto sax that my dad bought for me in 1982. It says Evette Schaeffer and has the same engraving pattern as the ones that say "Paris" underneath (but this one does not). The man my dad bought it from said that it was made in Paris, FR in the 40s. The original case (long...
I know from my experiences with vintage Couesnon saxes, that the alto really works for me and the tenor doesn't. Which of the S1 do you feel is better? Or maybe you think they're equally good (or bad).
Don't hear much about Buffet's from jazz players these days ... Anybody?
