Thank you for viewing! I am selling a MARCATO Sophia Series Tenor Saxophone with a satin finish. MARCATO is an original brand of Shimokura Gakki, a major musical instrument store in Japan, and is produced in the same Taiwanese factory as the CONN-SELMER company, which is renowned as the pinnacle of saxophones. It has received relatively high praise among low-priced saxophones. MARCATO saxophones are easy to play because it is easy to blow air into them, making it easy to play smoothly from the low range to the altissimo register. This product was purchased from an auction site, but since there was no information such as the model number, I researched it on the internet and found that the engraving design is the same as the TS-551G model. The product for sale this time has a satin finish, which is a very rare model. Satin finish is when the body is polished more roughly than usual with a brush, etc., and a thicker tube thickness is left. It produces a sound with depth and a deep, weighty sound. It has a softer, gentler tone than a gold lacquer finish. This is just my personal impression, but I feel that the tone has a luster. It is very comfortable to play, and I often find myself naturally getting into the music and being intoxicated by the song for a while. Matte satin gold gives a sophisticated impression that gold lacquer does not have. The two-tone contrast of the matte gold main tube and the glossy gold keys and parts will surely attract the attention of the audience. I have decided to sell this saxophone because I am purchasing a higher-end model. I would be grateful if someone who will continue to take good care of it would purchase it. I think that even saxophone beginners can play it without stress. Please experience the expansion of your music scene. There are small scratches, rust, and scratches on the body due to aging, but it is in good condition overall. I do not recommend this for those who are nervous. We cannot accept complaints or returns after the transaction is completed. Please understand this before making a purchase. Thank you very much.
