I find it to be quite exquisite in all it's features; ergonomics, intonation, and even some of the cosmetics some might come to appreciate.

I'm happy with my guardala though :-) Reply To Post by blackfrancis (396 posts) 20 years ago Re: Personal review on the Selmer LaVoix Tenor Sax I remember getting my first Selmer (after playing a student horn for years). I know the feeling and I'm glad you got yourself set up in such a grand fashion!

Got pics? Blackfrancis; what kind of selmer did you get. Super Action 80? I think the horn I have is considered an intermediate horn, but I have full confidence in it's ability to play along with the big dogs!

Reply To Post by blackfrancis (396 posts) 20 years ago Re: Personal review on the Selmer LaVoix Tenor Sax That was way back in '72- it was a mk. VI alto. My previous horn was a Buescher made by Selmer (like a Bundy). Talk about a big difference! As for playing along with the big dogs, the horn is just a means to an end- the music comes from you. So I'd just bet you can! Reply To Post by connsaxman_jim (2336 posts) 20 years ago Re: Personal review on the Selmer LaVoix Tenor Sax I'm sure it's a nice horn Joel....even if it IS a Selmer! Congrats! I'm glad you like it! Reply To Post Yahoo! by SaxMan88 (318 posts) 20 years ago Re: Personal review on the Selmer LaVoix Tenor Sax All right guys I need some help here...part repair diagnostics. This horn has two flaws that I can name right here right now. The first and more important is my G# is gummy...no sign of gum around the action though. What's up with this? Second thing is the G/A octave mechanism. Ya kno, when ya move up to octave A from G the valves change? Well when I do the octave valve at the top doesn't open all the way sometimes...now more towads the bottom of the rod there seems to be some gummed up oil...so maybe some key oil will fix this? Otherwise I need help. THANX!
