The other notable quality is that the tone is bright and potentially powerful. Definitely a pro-quality saxophone that sounds great, but a little different from everybody else. It’s not nearly as dark as an SML but it’s not as heavy as a Selmer either. The tone is somewhere between Selmer and Buffet – French, lyrical, interesting, and flexible. In any case, all of the Beaugnier’s that I have played have been very impressive saxophones. These horns come in several different vintages, and the precise dating is not quite nailed down yet, because there isn’t a lot of data surviving. This saxophone is sold!
