A USA with a C-Star, or just a Selmer?

Or did you pony up for the Super Action 80?

No C-Star. But I know jack about sax. One of the guitarists for MMJ brings out the sax for a few songs. That's pretty cool IMO

At the time I bought it, the Super Action 80 was the best Tenor of any brand [made by Selmer in France], the USA was the same Tenor, made in . . . wait for it. . . the United States.

At that time [1987-1988], SA80s ran $4K and USA's ran $2500. I got mine as a display model for $1500. Nowadays, in good shape, the same saxes run 3500-4K for the USA and up to 6K for the SA80. Good investment. Treat her like a queen.

The C-Star is a great mouthpiece, runs around $150. I also have an Adjust-O-Tone, which can be wonky, but also can produce some great timbre. It has a lever that slides a piece in the barrel that changes the mouthpiece chamber for different tonality.

Yeah, we paid around 6K at the time. He took it to first chair. I have it now.
