I agree for selmer mark VII if it is in good condition, but I owned a selmer mark VII alto and a cannonball tenor, Ilove both, but to tell you something about cannonball, not all of them are the same, I tryed out the stone series, I did not liked, the big bell global series I owned, and i have tryed others with not difference at all, cannonball global big bell rocks, other cannonball not as convincing, mark VII if it was built in France, not NY go for it, Semer series III too expensive for what you get...Yamaha 62II I owned an alto, hard to let go, its wonderfull, three difernt good choices, just a matter of budget.... If I have the budget I get the one hardest to get in the future...the vintage playable, in good conditions has no replacement it comes once in a life time...
