My little brother delivered one of these (on the right) one Christmas. They are both good tenor saxophones. The one on the left, a Selmer, is the one I played in band when I was a kid; the other is a York, my little brother's from his marching band days. He made a comment about the leather going bad if I didn't play them last visit. Truth is, I've made no real effort to play them since he dropped the one off.

After enjoying a very entertaining performance from the ASO (Alabama Symphony Orchestra) and listening to some Coletrain, I decided to pick them up and try them out. It's been well over a decade since I played. So, there was some expectation of pain and crackled noise. To my suprise it wasn't that different than I remember it.
