There seem to be no clear, hard and fast rules for determining what constitutes a "vintage" sax. For example, I'm thinking for something to be an "antique", I believe said object must be at least 100 years old. With saxes there seem to be "years old" rule.
Another thread on this board talked about student versus pro model horns, so we all agree on that, right? Must be "pro" model/level horn.
Then I guess we need to talk about features...What features does it have to have to make it a horn worthy of the "vintage" label?
Does anyone have ideas on this? Lots of us here play vintage horns. How do we know that it's a vintage?
