Hi Jeff

Jeff
Hi, a friend of mine passed away and his aunt just gave me his tenor. Apparently he had a Mark VI but it was stolen and he bought this horn before he got sick. It’s called “The Woodwinds” brand. Through a few friends I’ve been able to determine the it’s brand offered at one time by Woodwind Brasswind and it was probably made either in Taiwan or China.

Any idea what it might be worth? Based on the weight and the action of the keys it doesn’t feel like most Chinese horns that I’ve seen. I haven’t had a chance to play it because my mouthpiece and reeds are at home.

It also had a Dukoff M8* super power chamber Miami and a Keilwerth 6* mouthpiece. I’d appreciate any info you can give me. Thanks!

probably playing it is the best way to have a better idea if you’re a saxophone player
I would check ebay to see if there are similar horns too

Jeff
I played it last night and it’s not bad. Weight and action of a pro horn. Not the tone of my VI. I just wasn’t familiar with the brand.

Neal Battaglia
what would you pay for it?

Jeff
$1K probably based on the way it plays. Much better than the Bundy II that my youngest son is playing. Probably going to let him use it.

Neal Battaglia
possible you could get that, but I would imagine a little less if you sold it
any more information written on it?

Jeff
No, other than a serial number. Someone told me that they thought woodwind brasswind co had them made but I’ve not been able to find any info but this site is a 1st stop.

Sax on the Web often has some discussion about more rare horns
I’ve gone to NAMM a few times and have played a number of horns but haven’t played one of those before
seems like ~800 was the price in 2009

Jeff
Cool. Thanks for the info. Have a great day!
