Excellent Student Model

Used under Toscanini's baton. This instrument from 1924 boasts a sound that is unobtainable in today's instruments. Cherished, cared for and used with reverence, this bass remains in excellent condition. With a double octave key, this instrument pre-dates the automatic octave now found on bass clarinets. Serial # 1R302 

Conn 16V Contrabass Sarrusophone. In beautiful re-lacquered condition. Key of Eb. The bell is engraved with "U.S.Q.M.C.", which stands for "United States Quartermaster Corps". 

Conn called this an Eb soprano. With original silver plating, Rolled Tone Holes and good pads. This rare model from 1924 has become increasingly difficult to find. We were lucky to acquire it. 

With a big sound, this is a late 1960"s Bel Air model [also known as "Artist" in Dolnet brochure]

Dolnet's Saxophones were used by Lester Young and Don Byas.

AWESOME - Hand made in Germany by Benedikt Eppelsheim, the creator of the Tubax. Case, stand and mouthpiece included.

Evette Wood Clarinet.

This is easily Jupiter's best 

Silver plated body with a Sterling silver neck.  

With it's comfortable feel and excellent intonation this free blowing, responsive horn is an excellent choice for the advancing player. A few features are a high F#, engraved bell and polished brass key work. When compared with "big name" brands this model has proven itself, time after time, to be their equal. The big difference......price. Case, mouthpiece, reed and strap are included.

This Eb sopranino has taken players by surprise with its high quality in sound and intonation. No doubt, the best buy in the world of sopraninos

serial 357365

 Key of A. Articulated G#. Nickel keys. 

The body and neck are made of Bayer’s Bayblend, a blend of polycarbonate and ABS. The ABS particle gives elasticity and flexibility, while the polycarbonate provides the required resonance. Vibrato A1 sound has a vintage character sound that is dark and warm, or some may say smokey. White body with gray pads, includes neck strap, cleaning swab set, a mouthpiece and a ligature. Weight 850 grams (1.9 Lbs). 

Yanagisawa only makes top quality saxophones. The AW01 no replaces the 901. It is their entry level pro model. Along with elegance of construction it is our belief that mechanically there is no better saxophone being manufactured today. It has a rich lyrical tone and is fast becoming the instrument of choice of some of today's most discriminating performers. Comes with a new deluxe case and a pro mouthpiece. This model represents an extraordinary purchase opportunity for any player that is looking for a great professional horn at a great price.

Mechanically, this is the same horn as the Yanagisawa AW01. The difference is that the body and neck of this horn are made entirely of bronze, not brass. This alloy, which Yanagisawa also employs on their top-of-the-line instrument, the AW02, adds more depth and sonic resonance to this already superb instrument. The enhanced timbrel effect is felt from behind, as well as on the listeners side, giving the player a significant advantage over colleagues playing standard brass instruments. This horn has the awesome sonic qualities of the AW020 with a price tag that those on a budget can be more comfortable with.

This is Yani's replacement  for their great 992 model. There is a special character of sound with the Bronze body - that being a rich and darker timbre. With a great scale and the best mechanics in the industry, players are giving this one rave reviews and so do we. It's sound and sonic characteristics compare favorably with, or exceed, those of top vintage and modern horns. Comes with a mouthpiece, strap and an updated case . 

This is the same design as an A-W010 but with Sterling Silver (92.5% Silver) bell, body & neck. Brass bow.

This is without a doubt , in all respects, the very best baritone available in its price range. It has the same bore and interior dimensions as the deluxe Yanagisawa BW010 baritone . The major difference is the absence of  post/rib construction and the full array of double control arms on the bell keys that Yanagisawa includes with the deluxe 010 model. It does include double control arms  on the low C. . Baritones are large scale instruments and require excellent materials, tooling and construction to hold up well. Yanagisawa gives you all this in the BW01 at a reasonable price, along with an excellent scale and great sonic quality, and an extremely comfortable key board layout. We stopped handling certain other companies closely priced baritones when this instrument came out because none of them came close to Yanagisawa's quality and durability. It is unquestionable a Best Buy for someone seeking a professional quality horn for a lifetime at a price that hasn't soared into the stratosphere.

The Yanagisawa company has got itself a winner and a serious contender for the best currently manufactured baritone on the market. The scale is great and the sound is full and rich, along with a particular bright edge, which is precisely what serious players are looking for. On Soprano , alto , or tenor many players are seeking a "dark" sound. On Baritone , "dark" translates into "dull", and dull is the kiss of death on Baritone. Soloing on a "dark" baritone is a players nightmare. It just won't carry, or cut through a section. The construction on this baritone is second to none with it's double control arms on the low larger key cups starting from low-C down. Having two braces controlling the low A is a absolute blessing in terms of maintaining pad coverage and reliability and confidence in coverage. On a large size instrument this extra bit of engineering is nothing short of brilliant, and should save many a trip to the repairman. RELIABILITY! SONIC EXCELLENCE! and COMFORT - when playing for extended periods! This Horn Has It All !

Made from the solid Bronze alloy (higher copper content) to produce a slightly warmer and richer tone, we think of the BW02 as an enhanced version of the BW01. The sound quality is maximized, but with the savings of the "no frills" post construction. When compared to rib construction, posts that are soldered to the horn on an individual basis use less surface area of soldering resulting in an intensified and enriched vibration.

Formally the 991. Yanagisawa only makes top quality saxophones. The AW010  is a solid level pro model.

Solid! As in solid sterling silver neck, body and bell. This is more than just a sax, it's a work of art. With it's liberal engraving, it is certainly a most beautiful horn. Yanagisawa has outdone themselves... again. In addition to its breath taking beauty, this is a player's horn, no doubt about it. Destined to be a collectors item, but meant to be played. This is a horn with ultimate projection that cuts right through with a complex timbre that features enhanced high end partials The low end is robust. When played at a fff dynamic, it roars; when at ppp, it's pretty-pretty-pretty. As to the mid-range, there is a solid core sound that completes the sonority.

A great, affordable low A bari. This model has become a staple in the line of baritones we offer. We found this horn to be more solid and substantial than any of the new imports available on the market. The key work and overall look of the horn is reminiscent of the Selmer Super Action 80 Series II. Good intonation, a good sound, and it's top shelf mechanical aspects make it more than a budget minded bari. A whole lot of horn for the money.

We have now moved out of the "Dark Age" with this horn. With it's sterling silver neck and body tube, this axe truly has the edge to cut through in any playing situation. Up until now, it has only been a rumor that this model bari existed. But, it is not just a myth. Playing it is a truly joyful experience. If you're taking the lead it projects like no other and at ppp it's sweet personality comes through. Double control arms add stability to the large low end key cups and three different lengths of floor pegs, that screw into the bottom bow, are included for use when playing in a seated position. Engraving on the bell adds to the elegance of this unique instrument. A case, mouthpiece and strap are included.
