Selected by Wataru Hamazaki Wood Stone/Tenor Saxophone New Vintage, High F# Key VL/Vintage Lacquer Includes case. Body only (mouthpiece, strap, stand, etc. not included) Purchased new in May 2014. Selected by Wataru Hamazaki. Since then, it has been used for performances in an amateur big band. The sound projection and tone are excellent, and it's my favorite saxophone so far. I was using it until this month, but due to various circumstances, I have decided to retire from performing, so I am putting it up for sale. It is in good condition and can be used without any problems. Used for practice 10-15 times a month (about 3 hours each time). There is a sense of use, but I have used it carefully. There are some paint剥げ, scratches, and minor dents (which cannot be captured in photos), but there are no major scratches or stains, and I think it is clean. I have been regularly maintaining it since I bought it. However, the frequency of maintenance has decreased slightly since the pandemic. I have priced it accordingly, so I appreciate your understanding. The contents include the body, neck, neck cloth case, and hard case. The case is the original one from when I bought it, but the zipper on the top is broken, and I replaced it with a clasp (I asked Ishimori Wind Instruments to repair it. They said they had a good track record). The condition is good. However, the surface of the case has peeled off due to aging. A flute can fit in the side pocket. The neck is placed in the bell of the body. (From the HP) The fusion of tradition and evolution, finally completed Based on the experience of repairing saxophones for half a century, the masterpiece that incorporates our unique know-how is finally complete. The tone, response, intonation, and operability are all excellent, and the playing feel is natural and smooth from the low to high ranges. This instrument is a modern instrument that reproduces vintage to the extreme. VL/Vintage Lacquer Compared to AF, the lacquered finish creates a moderate resistance. While maintaining the inherent softness of the sound, the brightness unique to lacquer is added, and the clarity of the sound is also clear. The High F# key model is recommended for those who play jazz, as well as classical music and wind instruments. 【Features】 Neck Screw Thumb rest Thumb hook “Wood Stone” engraving Body and bell connection G♯-F♯ adjuster rod Please ask if you have any questions.
