You can hear the killer tone and it a pro player was recently in the shop and gave this sax a 2nd and 3rd look. ![]() PADS: currently mixed with older and newer, recommending a full rebuild (included in price). To attempt saying it in Seattle coffee terms: this sax is a 2-shot Latte vs the THC with is a 3-shot Americano. The older model is darker as expected and there is a little more 'presence' or 'treble' in this sax, a little more focus - due to years later and the neck design changes. Obviously it's not a $4000 THC but the core tones are there. I played this sax side by side Sarge's THC B400 and I have to tell you that they are close as I've eluded. It will be a great sax to love and play in whatever venue you want - main sax, killer backup, or a sleeper. The sax is in overall really good condition with signs of use and wear. You get the engineering designs of previous 400 models with a few changes to neck braces, octave triggers, guard designs, no silver bell ring(underside), but the big bell and 400 rear bell keys. I consider these to be some of the best bargain/undervalued saxes in the market. I think these models need better labeled because they are more of a "400" model body and keys than an Aristocrat. I wish these were labelled as "Model: 400, series III" (or so). (On Consignment - Plays OK/Rough, tune up needed)Ĭousin to the Top Hat & Cane, I would label these "Model: 400, series III".
