I've had my Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone since I was about 15 (I bought it used sometime in the early 80's). It has a bit of road rash and is perhaps a little worse for wear, but it fits me like a glove (or maybe an old pair of underwear). I would be devastated if anything were to happen to it. It's like an old and dear friend.



I also have an antique guitar which I recently had restored to playable condition. It belonged to a lifelong friend of my father's. Dad bought it for $3.00 at his friends retirement auction sale when I was a kid, and it sat in the basement for a number of years until my mother threatened to throw it out if I didn't get it out of her way.



Check out the cool tuning peg.

Dan, My friend and sax player - from years gone by - has an old Selmer Mark VI that he sent off for some minor repairs as he was thinking of selling it. He discussed it the repair guy who got back to him and told him that his horn was worth about $40,000.00.

Oldest is Roland XP-80 ROMpler. Next is Roland G-1000 arranger. Third is Roland JV-2080 module with 4 expansion boards. Purchased all 3 when they first came on the market. Use all 3 in studio several times a week. Can not imagine having to do without any of them. Right hand of G-1000 drives the JV-2080 for better sounding lead voices.

I've heard that some of the early VI's (which mine isn't) can bring quite a sum, but $40,000?

I think some people have too much money if they can spend 40 grand on a saxophone.

Going on 8 months with the S-950

A new record?!

It is amazing Diki,...I'm proud of myself!..

I have been using a Technics KN2000 for more than 20 years. It is a workhorse for me and has help up well for my needs. I use the arranger in the classroom and one man gigs, but not usually with the band. It sounds very good as a "regular" board. I have a second one as well as a 3000. My original one has been the Energizer Bunny.

I am considering the recently issued 61 key MOXF - the MOX with the added Motif XF sounds and the beefed up 128 polyphony. It's not an arranger, of course, but I think it would serve my sound needs with the band very well. It's only 15 lbs, too!
