This used bari sax is in good playing condition, and includes a mouthpiece and case. It has been evaluated by our Instrument Repair Department and has had a clean, oil, and adjust done. There is some scratches and corrosion around the horn.

With resonance and a refined sound the 991 series has outstanding evenness of intonation over its entire range at all dynamic levels. The 991 series has various upgrades over the 901 series: The double arm support on the low keys ensures better pad seating and a stronger low end sound. The posts that hold the keys in place are mounted onto strong support straps that run the length of the instrument; this adds weight and support to the body and influences the carrying power of the tone.
