Hi sxpoet, no i think titanium is the way to go because it is hard and light. It will also be quite pricey.

Hi Sxpoet, nuvo-jsax? Oooooo I don’t know it looks really complicated – LOL
Yes, as you can hear it sounds just like a Selmer!

I read somewhere that one of the reasons that the older saxes are so popular is because of the high quality of the metal which was used.

If their theory was correct all one would require is a quality reed and MP, and the rest of the sax could be made from hard PVC. That’s like saying that provided the length of the prongs is correct, a tuning fork can be made from plastic too. Harder materials reflect sound better than soft, I guess it all depends on the quality of sound you would like to produce.

At the end of the day, its the player that makes the difference. IMO…A high brass content has always done it for me. A guy fifty miles from me has one of Hawks horns. Totally legit: I think its an S. M .L. He puts it on the market from time to time. Prices vary. Pristine; from an outrageous thirty K ( English ) ; it fluctuates. I often wonder; if I had say, ten, twelve K; would I make an offer. Considering a good b.a. is in that ballpark… Probably, yeah. What would I do with it ? PLAY IT !!! what else. Jak
