Ishimori Wood Stone New Vintage Tenor Saxophone WST-AF with F# Antique Finish NEW
$ 4,700out of stock 5/27/23 These are hard to keep in stock, but I will do my best to keep one around. Every Ishimori saxophone gets a new horn checkup, to make sure that it’s in perfect playing condition before it ships to you!
One of the most lauded modern horns by people who like vintage horns. This is the Ishimori Wood Stone New Vintage tenor in Antique Finish (patinated bare brass) and the dark lacquer version is here: https://www.getasax.com/product/ishimori-woodstone-new-with-dark-lacquer-tenor-saxophone/ Ishimori has long been Japan’s premiere saxophone repair shop. This tenor is their attempt to bring their repair expertise to bear on saxophone design. This horn has a bore and design aesthetic reminiscent of a Selmer Super (Balanced) Action, even down to the engraving and keywork styling. But as a modern horn, it hasn’t seen decades of playing and repairs. It also comes with a good setup done by Ishimori pre-sale. This is the unlacquered version of the Ishimori Wood Stone New Vintage tenor, with beautiful Selmer SBA style hand engraving. These are popular saxophones, but I’ll try to keep one in stock if possible! Ishimori is Japan’s premiere saxophone repair shop, and Mr. Ishimori has been designing, building, and repairing saxophones for many decades.
These tenors not only sound great, but they stand out from the crowd with their excellent new horn setup done in the Ishimori workshop. The Ishimori New Vintage tenors hold up extremely well over time, and every detail of construction and assembly is optimized for ease of play. The tone on this Ishimori tenor is meant to remind you of a vintage Selmer – to my ear, it plays like a late SBA – not as loud and wide open as some Mark VI’s, but more focused than earlier Selmers also. The neck and the engraving are meant to evoke the Selmer Super Balanced Action, so I suspect that the neck is an SBA bore. The tuning is excellent. This body tube is designed to have the high F# tone hole present, so it tunes well with the high F#, and that’s also just a convenient feature. The finish is a stable patina applied to the bare brass. While it will continue to change in appearance somewhat, it will basically look like this. You get the bare brass finish plus a great unique look to the horn that ages well – much nicer than the completely shiny unlacquered finish that Yamaha does. This looks really classy.
Ishimori New Vintage tenors play so effortlessly, they sell themselves. Every time one comes in the shop, it sells almost immediately. There’s one in stock at the moment! Get it now!

Martin Handcraft Soprano Original Silver Plate Near Mint + Overhauled 67718
$ 3,850Amazing example of a near mint Martin Handcraft soprano saxophone that just got a fresh high-end overhaul through GetASax. You won’t find a nicer sounding vintage soprano! The ergonomics are vintage, but pretty comfortable. I play a 68k Handcraft just like this myself. Warm, balanced, round, medium spread, good intonation, and even not very picky on mouthpiece compatibility.

Yamaha YAS-875EXII Alto Near Mint Condition + Overhauled! F07021
$ 4,250This is probably the first time I’ve gotten in a nearly new Yamaha Custom saxophone that had also been completely overhauled when it was brand new! But that’s what this is! The previous owner wanted it to be as good as it could possibly be, so he got it overhauled by Brad Wherry in Washington. It has Pisoni Pro Italian leather pads, and it plays like a dream. You won’t find a better playing EX alto. It’s just effortless. Low Bb whispers out like any other note, with a beautiful, saturated pianissimo. If you want an alto that is perfect, and that is precision tuned to play at the top level, this is it. He traded it because he wanted to go vintage, but you really couldn’t find a better Yamaha 875-EXII. If you are a parent of a serious saxophonist, this is the alto you want for serious saxophone study. The intonation is excellent; tone is beautiful; keywork is comfortable; no maintenance is required– it’s better than new.
