P. Mauriat Saxophones

Sax Alley is the #1 seller of P. Mauriat Saxophones in the US.  We know these instruments and how to make them play well because we have set up hundreds of them.  P. Mauriat saxophones are sonically the warmest and darkest sounding new horn on the market and they play as good or better than the "major" brands at a lower price.  Made in Taiwan from imported European brass, these are simply one of the best saxophones out there today at a great price!!!

We also include the Sax Alley $300 "New Horn Set Up" and FREE Shipping with every new P. Mauriat saxophone purchased!  Call (970-674-0222), email (saxalley@frii.com) or check out our "Saxophones" page on the web site for more information and prices.

New Horn Setup & Free Shipping -
   Included with every new horn purchased from us.

Most saxophones will play fairly well out of the box, but they will play much better if you purchase one from Sax Alley with our extensive $300 "New Horn Set Up".  We do things that the factory doesn't, which will give you better intonation and overall response than you will get from a dealer who only pulls it out of the box and sells it to you. Selmer saxophones are generally in pretty bad adjustment out of the box, so why buy from someone who is going to pull one out of the box and send it to you hoping you won't care?  Do you want your new saxophone to play as well as it possibly can?  When you purchase your new saxophone from us, we meticulously go over it and set it up so it will give you optimal performance the day you receive it.

Selmer and Yanagisawa Saxophones

Sax Alley is an official dealer for Selmer and Yanagisawa saxophones.  Selmer has been THE name in saxophones for over 60 years and their design and quality is still excellent.  Yanagisawa has been one of the top Japanese brands for over 40 years and they continue to make a high quality product that performs beautifully.  Yanagisawa's soprano saxophones are especially good so don't miss out on them!

Our prices are normally $100 over MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) and yet our price includes our $300 "New Horn Set Up" and Free Shipping (a $350 value added to your purchase price!!!). 

Call (970-674-0222) or email (saxalley@frii.com) for more information and prices.

Keilwerth Saxophones

Sax Alley is an official dealer for German made, Keilwerth Saxophones.  These instruments are well designed and meticulously made and offer a sound quality that is unique from other saxophones currently being manufactured. These are really fine instruments that are not widely acknowledged or recognized due to poor distribution and advertising in the past.  Don't be fooled, though!  These are great playing saxophones and worthy of your consideration. (Buffet Crampon has just taken over this company so we are looking forward to their influence in making Keilwerth as great a name as it deserves to be.)

Call (970-674-0222) or email (saxalley@frii.com) for more information and prices.

P. Mauriat Saxophones - "B" Stock

We still have access to some "B" stock P. Mauriat saxophones that are only considered "B" stock either from very minor cosmetic blemishes or minor shipping damage that we can sell for hundreds less than new.  We also repair any minor damage that happened to these instruments before you receive them.  You still get the one year P. Mauriat factory warranty as you would with any "A" stock P. Mauriat saxophone. 

If you are looking to save some money and some minor blemishes don't bother you, contact us to see what is available.  Call (970-674-0222) or email (saxalley@frii.com) for more information and prices.

 

Why buy from Sax Alley?


Our Promise

We stand behind every product we sell.  We give you a one week from receipt trial period to be sure the product you ordered works for you.  We don't want you to be stuck with something that doesn't improve your playing experience and further your desire to be a better saxophonist.  We are here to serve you!

Prices

Our prices are better than most shops and competitive with many, especially when you consider the value for your dollar in our extensive repair and set up of used and new saxophones.  If you are considering buying from another dealer, ask them if they do a complete disassemble and extensive $300-$350 "New Horn Set Up" on every new professional model saxophone they sell.  If not, you have to ask yourself why you would pay more for less. 

When you get a new or used saxophone from Sax Alley, it WILL play well!!

Saxophone Repair

All of our repair technicians are saxophone players.  No drummers or guitar players working on your saxophone!  This business was founded around our repair shop, before we began selling any products, and that is where our reputation was formed.  When you get your saxophone back, it will play better than when it entered our shop, guaranteed!

Every used student or intermediate model we sell gets our $110-$140 "Complete Adjustment" for no extra charge.

Products

We are official P. Mauriat, Selmer, Yanagisawa and Keilwerth dealers and can get other brands for you as well.  We also have a great selection of new and used mouthpieces, reeds, ligatures and other accessories as well as Classic Jazz and Classical Saxophone CD's.

We carry only those products that we have tested and believe are of high quality and work well.  No junky, student mouthpieces here that won't work no matter how good a player you are.  Only top quality products tested and approved by us.

Used saxophones will receive a minimum of $110 of work, often much more, to be sure they play well when you receive them.

We can give you good advice on product comparison and which saxophone, mouthpiece or reed might work best for your playing situation.

We designed and manufacuter our own solid brass, right hand thumb hook which will replace the cheap, plastic hook on your Selmer, Yanagisawa or Yamaha saxophone.

Shipping

We give you FREE Shipping with each NEW professional model saxophone you purchase.

We use 200 lb. test boxes (these boxes require more than 200 pounds of pressure to make them collapse) to ship all our new instruments, normally double boxed with manufacturers boxes inside, surrounded by several inches of styrofoam packing material with our heavy duty box on the outside.  We also cork the keys shut on any saxophone being shipped to insure that it stays in good adjustment.  (All shipping charges on used or student model saxophones are the responsiblity of the purchaser even if the instrument is returned.)

 

At Sax Alley, we don't just sell you a product.  We are selling you a product backed by our service and our reputation that will give you a lifetime of enjoyment from the time you receive it!!!

Conn 6M "Naked Lady" Alto Saxophone #279,000

The Conn 6M is called the "Naked Lady" model because it has the bust of a lady in the center of the engraving on the bell.  At this point in time this was one of the best altos Conn ever made and being a Roman Numeral VIII model, this is the best of the best.  The sound quality is outstanding with a warmth and fatness that you rarely find in a modern alto.  

This one is in very good condition with the tuneable neck and rolled tone holes.  It has newer pads and comes with the original case as well.

If you would like a piece of the greatest of American musical instrument manufacturing history, this is it!  Price includes the Sax Alley $110 "Complete Adjustment" and anything else we need to do to make it play as well as possible for you.

(Price just dropped from $2500 to $1995 for an owner initiated Christmas Special.  Don't miss this!!!)

Selmer Super Action 80 Series III Alto Saxophone, "Jubilee Edition" in Silver-Plate - NEW

Selmer Series III Professional Model Alto in silver-plate (Model 62JS, Jubilee Edition).   The Series III has improved ergonomics and a prettier "ring" to the sound quality than the Series II.  This one that we have in the shop has been played by numerous very good players and they have commented on how good it is.  This is the best Series III alto I have played to date!!

Selmer has long been know for it's exceptional quality of sound, intonation and construction and these new models are no exception.  The current model Selmer saxophone are actually more even in response from top to bottom than the previous models and have better overall intonation as well.

Don't buy a new Selmer from another dealer who will do no more than ship it to you.  Without the extensive set up required on these models, they won't play as well as they can and you will be left with an instrument that won't work well for you.

The Sax Alley price on this alto includes our extensive $300 "New Horn Set Up" and FREE SHIPPING.

Yamaha YTS-875EX Tenor, Silver-Plate #D25,000

Like new original condition, Pro Model, Top of the line Yamaha tenor.  The YTS-875 is a fantastic instrument and the silver-plate adds depth and "meat" to the sound that the lacquer model doesn't get. 

Yamaha saxophones have the best key action on the market and excellent intonation as well.  This one plays quite well and is listed in "like new" condition for less than you would pay for the regular lacquered model brand new.   If you were to purchase this one new it would cost you around $4500 so why not get like new for a lot less!!

Yanagisawa A991S Silver-Plate, Professional Model, Alto Saxophone - NEW!!!

Yanagisawa has long been known for manufacturing great quality instruments.  We have found that the sound quality of this brand greatly improves when you silver-plate or black lacquer their instruments.  The Silver-Plating adds a depth and presence to the sound and gives it more body than the standard lacquered version. 

This is a great playing alto with a very centered, clean, crisp sound quality!!

Yanagisawa Artists include Antonio Hart, Tia Fuller and Marshall McDonald.

Sax Alley Price includes our $300 "New Horn Set-Up" and FREE SHIPPING. 

(If you are going to purchase a saxophone that some other dealer has just shipped out the door without making sure it plays the best it can, you are being cheated!!  Most new saxophones do not come out of the box in the best adjustment possible so we make sure YOUR saxophone plays before we ship it to you.  At Sax Alley, we take the instrument apart and it undergoes extensive set up and play testing by our team of experienced saxophone player repair technicians.  No non-saxophonist willl be working on YOUR instrument!)
