I have had my B&S 1000 series alto for 26 years. I keep thinking I should get into something new but I like it and everyone always compliments my sound on it. I think you're right...underdog.
The 1000 series is a more modern version of the blue label and is a very nice tenor. The sax you are talking about is probably the blue label and still a nice sax but not as modern feeling under the fingers.

That horn sounds sweet!
Did I read somewhere that the Guardala saxophones were B&S saxophones with Guardala label/stencil? Guardala tenors were killer!
that is true. really nice saxes.
Do u perhaps have a sonora and what do u think of it.
Never tried Sonora but will try 1 if I find 1.
Thank you for the demo. What does 1000 series mean? I am offered B&S tenor with serial number 10572. Is it not as good?

Sweet! What years were these made? How would you compare this craftsmanship-wise to say an Hohner President? Cheers
