I def like the VI better then the unlaq LC tenor, the rose? colored one sounds....cleaner? Is the best way I can put it.. still on the VI side though.
Your right, Anibal, those new horns sound great, and better than your Mark VI, so pick yourself one of 'em and ditch that old piece of junk. I can help you with the disposal, just bring me the Mark VI and I'll take care of it and make sure it gets back to the furnace...

Can you tell me if the red sax was solid pure copper? because if it was, you will probably appreciate Rare Hardware Co Ltd who have one of the best designs ever, probably unbeatable key action, and most of all, you can now get them in 0.8mm gauge which, will only be available in Paul Mauriat if Rich Huang, owner/operator has made them for Paul Mauriat, as a considerable investment in time, skill and money is required to be able to draw tone holes properly in a guage one seventh thicker, but WOW!
As far as I can see there are three dark horses in the running for the best saxophones to get, all things considered, and they are: LC horns, Paul Mauriat horns and Rare Hardware Co Ltd horns.
Rare Hardware Co Ltd are the ones I know most about, some experience with Paul Mauriat horns and none with LC horns,so I greatly appreciate this post. For my taste, the first was good, but did not have the special rasp (resonance of the MkVl, but although different the red sax equalled at least the MkVI

Two questions:
Is it my imagination, or did the bare brass LC sound a bit more open to you?
What other horns did you try in your quest?
gcrav 8 months ago
Do you have any vids of trying out the LC sopranos? Maybe the straight vs the curved? The tenor sounds very free with a nice edge!

@arcjazzsax I'm sorry I do not. I have not tried the sopranos.
