P. Mauriat Saxophones

Sax Alley is the #1 seller of P. Mauriat saxophones in the US. We know these instruments and how to make them play well because we have set up hundreds of them. P. Mauriat saxophones are sonically the warmest and darkest sounding new horn on the market and they play as good or better than the "major" brands at a lower price. Made in Taiwan from imported European brass, these are simply one of the best saxophones out there today at a great price!!!

Most P. Mauriat saxophones will play fairly well out of the box, but they will play much better if you purchase one from Sax Alley with our extensive $300 "New Horn Set Up". We do things that the factory doesn't, which will give you better intonation and overall response than you will get from a dealer who only pulls it out of the box and sells it to you.

We also include FREE Shipping with every new P. Mauriat saxophone purchased! Call (970-674-0222), email (saxalley@frii.com) or check out our "Saxophones" page on the web site for more information and prices.

Selmer and Yanagisawa Saxophones

Sax Alley is an official dealer for Selmer and Yanagisawa saxophones. Selmer has been the name in saxophones for over 60 years and their design and quality is still excellent. Yanagisawa has been one of the top Japanese brands for over 40 years and they continue to make a high quality product that performs beautifully.

Our prices are normally $100 over MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) and yet our price includes our $300 "New Horn Set Up" and Free Shipping (a $350 value added to your purchase price!!!).

(Selmer saxophones are generally in pretty bad adjustment out of the box, so why buy from someone who is going to pull one out of the box and send it to you hoping you won't care? When you purchase your new saxophone from Sax Alley, we meticulously go over it and set it up so it will play as good as it can when you receive it.)

Check our web site or call (970-674-0222) or email (saxalley@frii.com) for more information and prices.

Keilwerth Saxophones

Sax Alley is an official dealer for German made, Keilwerth Saxophones. These instruments are well designed and meticulously made and offer a sound quality that is unique from other saxophones currently being manufactured. These are really fine instruments that are not widely acknowledged or recognized due to poor distribution and advertising in the past. Don't be fooled, though! These are great playing saxophones and worthy of your consideration. (Buffet Crampon has just taken over this company so we are looking forward to their influence in making Keilwerth as great a name as it deserves to be.)

When you purchase a new Professional Model Keilwerth Saxophone from Sax Alley, you get our $300-$350 "New Horn Set-Up" and Free Shipping included our low price.

Call (970-674-0222) or email (saxalley@frii.com) for more information and prices.

Mauriat saxophones that are only considered "B" stock either from very minor cosmetic blemishes or minor shipping damage that we can sell for hundreds less than new.

Mauriat factory warranty as you would with any "A" stock P. Mauriat saxophone.

Mauriat's newest alto, with the same design as the 67R, but constructed out of a phosphor bronze. This has an un-lacquered finish with a chocolate brown patina and straight tone holes.

P. Mauriat PMXA-67R S Heavy Silver-Plate Alto Saxophone (NEW!!)

WOW!! That was my first thought when I played this new model from P. Mauriat. It is the same construction as the 67R alto, but with a heavy silver-plating which gives it a depth, body and presence that the other models don't have. More clarity and slight bit more edge with the same fat, resonant core to the sound. Abalone key touches and it as beautiful a player as a looker. Again, WOW!! Try it and find out what I mean.

We have the only one of this model currently for sale in the US.

The Sax Alley price includes our $300 "New Horn Set Up" and FREE SHIPPING.

Selmer Super Action 80 Series II Alto Saxophone, Black Lacquer #522,000

Excellent, nearly new, Selmer Series II Professional Model Alto. The black lacquer, which is put on very heavy, makes the sound quality of this model warmer and darker than the lacquered version. This one is in beautiful condition and plays beautifully as well. It comes with the original hard shell Selmer case with case cover.

Our price on on this model new would be $4549, so a very lightly used one at this price saves you over $1000! The Sax Alley price will include our $120 "Complete Adjustment".

This is an outstanding price for this excellent condition, excellent playing Professional Model Alto!!

Used

Sax Alley Price: $3,400.00

Selmer Super Balanced Action Tenor Saxophone #49,000

Good re-lacquer in good condition. This one has a #50,000 neck with the same color lacquer which leads me to believe that the horn may have been originally purchased this way. Many from this era had necks with different serial numbers when a good player would try out horns and then try all the necks from the other horns in stock to find the best combination.

Engraving is sharp on the bell and not buffed extensively. Pads are good with Hollywood Resonators. Why pay over $10,000 for an original lacquer when you can get this one that plays really well for so much less! Price includes the Sax Alley $120 "Complete Adjustment".

Vintage-Used

Sax Alley Price: $5,900.00

Yanagisawa A991S Silver-Plate, Professional Model, Alto Saxophone - NEW!!!

Yanagisawa has long been known for manufacturing great quality instruments. We have found that the sound quality of this brand greatly improves when you silver-plate or black lacquer their instruments. The Silver-Plating adds a depth and presence to the sound and gives it more body than the standard lacquered version.

This is a great playing alto with a very centered, clean, crisp sound quality!!
