if you let everybody know your general geographical location, we may be able to point you towards a local, smaller, less known, higher end dealer to give you a hand as well.

I played (and still play) an older model YAS-62 in grad school for both legit and jazz. I'm happy with it for most styles of music, although if I'm sitting lead alto in a big band, I prefer to play a Mark VI. One maker you might want to check out is Hollywood Winds (formerly Unison) . . . Rhueben Allen who at one time was THE sax repairman in L.A. is now at the helm. With the help of the legendary legit sax guru Leo Potts, he designed the Leo Potts signature model. I played it at the NAMM Show this past year and was very impressed. If I were playing as much legit as I used to in school, I would likely pick one up. Another option for legit (and this is something else I would do if I were still playing a lot of legit) would be to pick up a Keilwerth straight alto. Intonation was great, but more importantly, going over the break was smooth and effortless--very seamless. HOWEVER, if I were independently wealthy, and could pick whatever sax I wanted, I would go with the solid silver Yanigasawa. Thought it was excellent for whatever style I played on it, and was absolutely wonderful for legit. I played it for over an hour at the NAMM Show and didn't want to put it down. Best of luck!
