早期 Buescher 和 Conn 都有出, 但現在已停產, 就算買到都可能係20年代至40年代的制品, 而且吹咀的選擇極少, 不過作為收藏都幾好! 唔通你都想整番支收藏?

As I know, there are Eb and Bb sax. C melody sax is very good since there is no need to transpose from piano meldoies. Would you tell me the reason of stop production of C-melody sax. Thanks.

唔知是否因為其他管樂器多數都是Eb and Bb的關係呢? 希望其他師兄可以講解0下.

Saxdog

The reason they stoped production of C melody has a lot to do with the history in the US. I don't thing you guys are "in the mood" pund intended for a history lesson. So I am just gonna qoute part of an article on cybersax's website. If anyone is interest in the full article go to this address.

"So much for the rise. The reasons for decline of the C-Melody sax are equally clear and explainable. Two seminal events ushered in the 1930's: Prohibition ended and The Great Depression began. The impetus for home entertaining abated, while the ability to make lavish gifts diminished greatly. Demand for luxuries of all manner dissipated, and since professionals and serious music students had never adopted the C-Melody, its market evaporated in rapid fashion. As a natural conclusion, manufacturers desperate to survive The Great Depression would reduce operating costs by first phasing out products where demand was weak. The C-Melody saxophone quite unavoidably slipped into obsolescence. Uncle Fred's audience now eagerly sought any excuse for escape, so the C-Melody saxes went into attics or under beds -- if not to the pawn shop. The fad was over. Values plummeted and remained depressed for over 50 years. When both fashion and the economic pendulum turn against something the only prudent choice is to get out of the way ... "
