Paraschos Wooden Alto Neck

Hi guys, So Im selling my wooden Paraschos alto sax neck. It has been played a total of 3 times, so other than normal aging from the year I have had it (one spot of tarnish on the end), it is in perfect condition. I bought this neck from Roberto's right as he was unpacking the box, so it had never even been played in his store. My personal thoughts on this neck: Wonderfully consistent (intonation and tone) If I had to put a label on the tone, I would say it is quite flexible but has a wonderful brilliance to it. If anyone is interested or would like to see some pics, please let me know. Best, Sugarsax

    You guys have never upgraded from a good piece of equipment? Most people don't go from bad equipment to amazing equipment. There is a middle you know. And if you are willing to spend $1000 on a neck, this is not the best choice. However, if you are trying to spend around $400, this is a solid choice. This neck is already sold, so not that it matters, but if you are not interested why bother posting just to criticize mine?

    realized I didn't specifically answer your questions. I sold it because I now play on a gold plated neck that suits my playing style better. I bought it because it was a huge upgrade from my standard series III neck, and I didn't have enough money for GP. Although it is not the case, there is also the option of wanting a different sound. Players change, and with it many times their equipment changes. I also happened to be primarily a Jazz player when I chose that neck. P.S. What am I supposed to write? Selling this neck because I found a better one? There is a real pitch=)

      I too am primarily a jazz player. Really, I'm only a jazz player. I have a couple of Mark Vls that I feel are as good as it gets. I am perfectly happy with the necks that came with the horns. Of coarse, I don't play the mouthpieces that came with the horns. I play a Gaurdala on tenor and a Meyers on alto. Maybe a new neck might be worth trying? But not a wooden one! If a terific neck would help my playing I'll be first in line to get one. But the factory necks and the mouthpieces I have give me the sound I want? So................. Good luck and remember, spend your money wisely...........Kelsey
