BARITONE SAXES!
good selection of baritone saxes right now . See list :

DC Pro - Yamaha YBS-62 copy . Plays great , in near MINT condition . It has a cool support peg on the bottom . They can play it sitting down without even using a strap . Killer Protech style case w/ wheels !

Standard Jupiter JBS-593 . I have replaced the upper U tube / pigtail ,bottom guard , new neck , new mouthpiece . Nice beginner bari at a great price

Pro Jupiter JBS-893 - This bari blew me away . I played the other night at rehearsal and everybody loved it .Silver plated body , gold keys , solid sterling silver neck ! Nice case . It plays like a dream . This is miles above anything they have ever made . I would compare it to a YBS-52 maybe a little nicer .

Yamaha YBS-52 2ea . #1 has been hammered back out into the shape of a bari again and is ready for another round .
#2 Is in very nice original shape , just a few scratches in the usual places . One of the cleanest ones I have had in a long time .

Yamaha -YBS-62 Pretty much the standard pro model these day . Very nice shape . What a bark this baby has !

I Graduation time is coming so maybe there is someone looking to upgrade or get into the bari sax . I tell them to beat the competition by playing an axe nothing body else wants to carry around .

I also have a world class selection of sopranos , alto and tenors right now . All the top models from all the top name brands .

take care all

PIANO LESSONS YOU CAN AFFORD!




I have been playing piano for over four decades and last year decided to begin to share my love of the instrument with others by giving lessons. I specialize in beginning and low intermediate students, aged seven to adult. I believe learning can and should be fun, but at the same time I am also a demanding teacher since it is important to lay a good foundation.

The first lesson is FREE, so that we can try each other out. If we find it's a good fit, the fee thereafter is only $35 for a 45 minute lesson -- even less if you pay for a month in advance.

The location is Live Oak but I might also be persuaded to travel to you if you don't live too far out.

Please e-mail me at scbeal@hotmail.com if you are interested. Questions are welcome. You can also leave a message at 831-239-2267, if you prefer. I look forward to helping broaden your or your child's enjoyment of music.
