![]() ![]() The Reference 54 alto sax was the first alto I tried where I was immediately in love. Selmers, Yamahas, Yanis, etc…….I tried a ton. I had been looking for an alto sax for like 5 years but every one I tried just seemed mediocre to me. When I tried it in the store, I fell in love. You see, my Selmer Reference 54 alto saxophone is one of the early models that came with a first generation neck. I have decided to make an exception though. Ever since then, I have pretty much stayed away from other necks and horns because I know it would just confuse me and muddy the saxophone waters more for me. It was neither good nor bad but just different and it threw me for a loop. ![]() It played great and I thought I could use it instead of my Selmer SBA tenor but I quickly found out that every mouthpiece I owned sounded and responded very different on the new horn. I learned that years ago when I bought a RS Berkeley tenor saxophone. The reality is that changing the saxophone neck or the saxophone itself can dramatically change the sound and response of any mouthpiece. So much of my time is already consumed with trying so many different saxophone mouthpieces that adding necks and saxophones to the mix is just too overwhelming for me. ![]() I have to admit, I usually stay away from anything to do with trying saxophone necks or different brands of saxophones. ![]()
