buying my first pro tenor, feed back welcome.
so far I've been playing a YTS 275 tenor, NY 8* otto link, med La Voz reed, and I love the deep tone and ease of breath I get with this set up.
I just came back from the local sax shop and had the opportunity to try the following:
Selmer Super Action 80 (DIR?) - this one had a nice upper register but felt more stuffy.
King Super 20 - I had a similer responce from this one as above.
YTS 82ZS - This one was a lot closer to the YTS 275, I liked it more than the selmer, but there seemed to be a hint of stuffyness again.
B & S Medusa - this is the first horn I liked out of the ones I tried. I felt the tone was a little sweeter and still full, and the action was superb.
Keilwerth SX90 - I instantly fell in love with this one. I liked the punch more than the Medusa could offer appealed to me.
Keilwerth SX90R - though brighter, I thought this was overkill.
Anyway, hopefully this gives you an idea of what I'm looking for. If anyone has any recommendations or hints that would be greatly appreciated.
