This sax is all set-up and ships out in perfect condition.If you are looking to get into a great American vintage tenor for a good price this 10M is a great way to go.It plays with a real beefy sound and has a little brighter bite to it as well. Being audible over a loud ensemble is not going to be a problem.A top-of-the-range pro horn from the 1940s that maintains its status even today
It has slickness of the action,free blowing feel, andrelative neutrality of tone.It\'s also known as the Ladyface, due to a portrait of a woman\'s head engraved on the bell. Later models were more \'extensively engraved\', which led to its other nickname...the Naked Lady.
The build quality of these horns is generally excellent.a well cared for 10M is every bit as good today as it was when it was built.the Rolled tone holes gives you increased surface areaof the tone hole rim which means the pads seat better and give a more focused sound.There\'s really no other sax quite like it. The 10M is capable of supporting the lowest, fastest, lightest action out there - with comparatively little loss of tone or detriment to tuning.The keywork has a couple of extra features - a G# trill just below the low F key, and an Eb trill - actuated by a key on top of the low E key whilst the F and D key fingers are forked.The G# key is particularly nice, being rather more of a long lever than its modern counterparts. What this means is that relative spring tension here can be set quite high without making the G# action excessively heavy under the finger, which should help prevent sticky G#s.The C# key is a single piece, directly sprung, so it\'s heavier than on a modern horn - but the generous touch gives you plenty to press down upon.The action is an inspiration - to play faster.
it has a lovely broad tone
