Forum: P. Mauriat

I am interested in buying a P. Mauriat Alto. I have played a system 67R. I only play classical, not a lot of jazz. Those of you who have more experience with these horns, which model do you think is best for classical playing?

I say big NO!!! I played their tenor UNL 66 and alto dark lack 66 last two days and I can say their are not good, their are EXCELLENT!!!! best saxes I ever heard...design, finish, handling, mechanics, tone, details, everything is just PERFECT!!! :line2::space2::space0::line0::line3::line5: ...

Just seen you can now get the 66RUL (unlacquered) model tenor with the metal key touch's instead of pearl's.Some people were asking about this combo of these 2 model's and now there out.:D

Been looking for a new alto horn to upgrade from my current one. I've played the PM 67R alto at the local Sam Ash twice now and really like it a lot. Is the PM horn the real deal and what about reliability and service in the US now that MonteVerde Music has stopped importing these horns?

Greetings, I'm play testing several upper end horns that are available for my students and the System 76 2nd edition alto is one of them. I'm a Keilwerth player myself, which as you may know, hard to get in the US these days. Anyways, I know very little of the P.Mauriat horns, so I figured I'd...

Does anyone know anything about these? The two things I gather are 1) they look nice, and 2) they are endorsed by a player I like. Has anyone acutally had the opportunity to play one of these? where are they made? thanks

Okay, Basically I recently bought a PMXT-86UL tenor from Sax.co.uk and I love it. What's odd is that when i was buying some accessories from the site and decided i'd look at my sax again to see the price with increased VAT to see how much I saved but it was there.. I then looked on the P.Mauriat...

Today, I took a trip to my local music store to decide which tenor I might want to buy. I tried about fifteen different horns, including three of the "big four" and others old and new. I finally narrowed it down to two; the Keilwerth SX-90 and the P. Mauriat PMXT-66RUL. I loved them both, but the...

I had a chance recently to try 2 alto 67's and 2 tenor 66's and found their sound to be very good and what I was looking for. Nice darker core, sort of the opposite of my yani's. But the build quality was poor. These horns felt like student knock offs compared to what I'm used to. With further...

I recently went to a Sam Ash and tried one of the 67R alto horns and relaly loved it. The guy there told me to "buy it while I could" as the USA dealer is out of business and they would not get any more PM horns. I saw from the PM North America website that Roger retired but that Albest Musical...

I've seen that there is a club for the Selmers,Yamahas,yanis etc...Why not start a club for the P Mauriat's 66R/67R.What do you think about these saxophones?I've owned my old mark VI,yamaha 62 and 82z yanagisawa a992 and i recently put another thread asking about the differences between the p...

Hey guys im interested in purchasing a new horn, and Im on a pretty tight budget. The Mauriat Le Bravo 200 looks like a really nice horn, does anyone here have any experience with these saxes and how do you think it would stack up against others in its price range such as a used YAS-62II/Yani A901?

P Mauriat 86UL Tenor Saxophone review, With reference to the System 76, Mark 6, PMXT 66 and Conn 10M By Roger Manins www.rogermanins.com About a year or so, I did a review of the System 76 Tenor. After extensive research, testing, gigs, recordings, tours on the 86UL Tenor, I now feel ready to...

I'm currently in the process of saving for and deciding which P. Mauriat Tenor I want to get. I haven't had the opportunity to try any out yet (I live far away from every dealer), but I've been comparing them via youtube videos. I'm stuck between the 66RUL and 86UL... such a tough choice. I really...

Hello didn't quite know where to post this thread - but here goes. I'm thinking about buying a tenor, and am considering a 66R - either laquered or unlaquered. I've been playing alto and baritone (modern selmers) for years on and off, and would love to add a tenor. The problem is that as I...

I know, i know, Im asking for more mouthpiece suggestions again. Im getting sick of asking, but this is for a good cause now. So two days ago, i bought a 67R (which i still love, just trying to get a good feel for it) and i slapped my AL3 on it. It sounded good, real good. So i decided...

Le Bravo 200 by P. Mauriat. The Le bravo tenor and alto saxophones made by P. Mauriat have beautiful intonation and rich, full tone. The key action and ergonomics are comfortable and allow for easy execution of pitch in all registers. Playing altissimo or the low end are equally effortless and...

I recently purchased two new horns: a System 76 2nd Edition tenor and soprano. The Mauriat horns are for real. The fit and finish are impeccable, and the response and intonation are up there with the best. Make no mistake about it: Taiwan (particularly Mauriat) is now producing some of the...

I had my 66R Vintage for 3 months now. Finally bought a tuner. No matter which mouthpiece I use, Barone Vintage, JD Hite Premiere or the stock mouuthpiece, it's playing +20 or more sharp. I have to pull the mouthpiece almost all the way out for the horn to be in tune. Even though it's a new...

Has anybody tried the p.mauriat line of saxophones? good? bad?

Anybody know a good tech for these in the Hollywood area? My octave key is clicking a little too much. Don't want to drive out to Cerritos Sam Ash where I got it, it's too far. Thanks, --Frank

Where should I buy one. I'm in Hollywood CA. Thanks for the advice- --Frank

P. Mauriat System PMXT 66R and 76 Custom Series 2nd edition. My first, and, actually the only saxophone I ever played was a Yamaha YTS 23. I learned to play on that and it took me through music school. I played on it using an old 8* metal Link and never really thought about any other saxophone...

For the last couple months, I've been looking for an upgrade from my Gary Sugal Series IV. It had good tone, but lousy intonation. I've played a lot of modern horns, but each one had one or more qualities about it that broke the deal for me. I played a Mauriat 66rul a while back (but only for about...

This has probably already been covered but has anyone compared these two tenors in terms of full fat tone, volume and flexability, i.e. not focused? Thanks.

Hi, Just a few words about my recent visit to P.Mauriat in Taiwan and the subsequent visit to Shenzhen, Dalian and Beijing to promote the horns and to perform at a series of Master classes. Firstly the new horns that I hadn't had the opportunity to play in NZ. The 86UL. This horn sits...

Any 1 play the 64 mauriat soprano,any thoughts please,only want info on this and no other brand pleases.

I am looking at purchasing a used P Mauriat solid Nickel Silver Tenor. Are these just solid nickel with a silver color or is there actually silver in the mix? If I decide to go for it I will be able to check it out this weekend, but I have to drive quite a ways to get there so I was wanting...

Just wondering, how is the PM saxes when it comes to endure a long time use? I have heard from many sax builders that they "break down" after about a year and that the key work and springs and stuff gets loose and the sax starts to "scramble". Any one with exp, who can confirm something? how is...

As the title says, I am wondering what Mpces are used by others on their Mauriat Tenors. I have a 66R and (at the moment) favour the following :- An EB Tone edge 7 (103) refaced by M.Fry with standard 2 screw Lig and Java 3 reeds. A Law Buzzer 8 (110) refaced by M.Fry with Law Lig and Alexander...

Just for those that don't know Marcus has come on board. Another great name to add to the growing number of P.Mauriat players. Alex

I have a PMXA 67R alto. I picked it up out of the case one day at rehearsal and found that the whole left hand pinky cluster had been pushed in towards the body of the sax. I have retraced my steps and for the life of me cannot pin down when and where this could have happened. I keep the saxes put...

http://www.chungang.com/shop/goods/goods_view.php?goodsno=186790229 It's a PMSA 86UL alto, but in a finish I've never seen. Are these custom ordered? It looks like a carrot :).

Waiting at the door for my new 60NS Nickel tenor to arrive.Time is dragging.Love my 60NS Alto so have took the plunge on the tenor,matching pair will be nice.I hate waiting but all good thing's to he who wait's.

Hi, Sorry for the delay in getting this one up but there were some issues yesterday. However that 's all been solved and here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIeo_EWhvNI I hope this video gives a fair representation of the 66RUL and the System 76.

Hi there I wonder if anyone can help me. I play a Mauriat 67R alto because I love to play jazz. However at the moment I am working towards Classical Sax exams and was wondering if the 67 R is totally the wrong instrument to play classical. Should I just change my mouthpiece or should I take...

I've heard from a reliable source that the Le Bravo tenor is sold out in the UK - that there are literally no Le Bravo tenors in the country - and that Mauriat have hiked the price up for the next batch to be imported. This has apparently left people who pre ordered Le Bravo tenors at the old...

I was just looking at the horns for sale section. Just about every horn is for sale but a P. Muriat. Does that mean that every one who has them does not want to part with them cause they enjoy them so much?

the modern day Mk VI? I've heard/read a few places that these horns get surprisingly close to the Mk VI in sound and structure. I'm a tenor player (YTS-62II) and trying to get an alto. Just not too sure where to go. I love my Yamaha but I'm the kind of guy that likes to try new things. Would the P....

Check out the new beauty offered from P. Mauriat. I contacted Tim at Sax Alley about it, and he is hoping to be able to get them in stock soon. Anyways, they have them in the UK! http://saxophones.co.uk/acatalog/info_226132810.html There is the tenor model. ...
