Musicians Can Find Great Deals From Vintage Saxophone Dealers These Days

By Kelly Wood


Musicians often find that they prefer the experience of playing older instruments to those which are brand new. Certainly, many players find that the instruments that they can obtain from vintage saxophone dealers are often of a higher quality than many new items. Due to the current economic situation, it is also possible to find some great prices for excellent quality instruments.

Anyone looking to buy a saxophone will at some stage have to choose between opting for a vintage instrument or a brand new one. Both choices have advantages and disadvantages. Brand new instruments benefit from being fresh out of the factory, and manufactured with the latest technology. They can be very expensive, though, especially for an inexperienced musician.

Purchasing new horns tends to work out as much more expensive than buying instruments second-hand, with new saxes often retailing for as much as ten times more than older instruments. This kind of price often makes buying a new saxophone prohibitively expensive, especially for young musicians. While buying a new sax is often the preferred option, there are other advantages to playing older instruments too.

It is true that many older instruments have been crafted to a higher quality than their more modern counterparts. This is largely attributable to the factory techniques of mass production which are used to make many modern instruments. Mass production makes it much more difficult to lavish the kind of crafted care and attention on instruments that more traditional methods allow.

This means that an older horn can often be a real pleasure to play, especially as the material used in its manufacture are often of higher quality than newer, factory produced instruments. Vintage instruments tend to have a real character of their own. It is also more likely that a vintage instrument can be obtained for an accessible price.

It is also relatively easy to find older instruments for sale, either in music stores or online. Indeed, many online and high street stores specialize in selling second-hand instruments, and a good deal can often be found, if the buyer is prepared to put in some time for research. If you are prepared to spend some time researching, then an instrument of real character can be found.

Finding the right instrument can often be a matter of experience, though, so it can be tricky for new musicians to find the best deals. Talking to more experienced players is always a good idea in this sort of situation. If possible, take a more experienced musician along with you when you are looking at instruments, as they can provide invaluable assistance, and tip you off as to which instruments are of the highest quality and represent the best value for you.

Many musicians use vintage saxophone dealers to find the perfect instrument for them. Older saxes are often manufactured to high standards and have a greater depth of character than modern, mass-produced examples. Any musician, whatever their experience level, can benefit from the great deals on offer from second-hand musical instrument stores.
