Does anyone own a P. Maurit sax alto or tenor for 67R or 66R ? I'd like to buy one... What is your opinion about the intonation and quality of mechanics-keyworks? Thanx in advance!

You may want to talk to Karlhos. He is a P Mauriat artist.

Hi I have the 66RUL tenor model which is one of the most exciting 'new' horns I have played-huge tone-extremely responsive to the most gentle breath--ie ppp is amazing across the whole horn-it sings-a bit like a wild horse that needs taming-so many tonal possibilities-intonation is spot on-mechanics are quite good but avoid a 'heavy' hand-the UL is the best model-I am also a dealer & repair tech for these and they need some adjustment before they are perfect..altos are sometimes good -need to try a few to find a good one--with the Theo Wanne new Brahma mpc. this horn will blow you away(a good dental plan helps as well!!)

Hi Lucasz, I not yet played in these models that you cited but, i buy one alto System 76 2ª edition, and it's a unbilivieble sax, have a incredible mechanics and exepcional tone. It has the tone darkest, however easy to play in all the registers.

I wait to have helped.

Good Lucky.

obs. i had altos: Yamaha YAS-62 (1994), L.A. 800 (1997), SELMER SUPER BALANCED ACTION (2001 year of buy), EAGLE VG (2003), P.Mauriat (2010)
Marquinho Sax.

I have a gold plated System 76 soprano which was a custom job done for me by the factory. It's sp smooth and intonation is spot on. Add to that the ease of play modern sopranos have in the upper registers and it's a total winner.

I also own a vintage MKVI soprano and the Mauriat smokes it on every level. And it isn't just me, every cat I play with has taken time out to admire the horn and mention how much better it sounds.

Hi I have contact with the factory which makes P.Mauriat, I can get the same model without rolled tone holes 66 or 67 models,for about $1400-$1600 if anyone is interested....the rolled tone hole model is not available due to license rules...

Oh yeah, they'll be glad to do it for anyone. I had to wait about 6 weeks since they don't normally offer gold plate on the sopranos.

What to say without repeating? Well, I bought a 66RUL to replace a sax I got stolen... If I meet the thief, I will thank him. I really love the horn. The sound is amazing, the vibration is enormous and for the pitch, it shouldn't even be a conversation subject.
I tried an alto System 76 and a MK VI lately... 2 different levels of sound. While the 76 sounds wide open, the VI sounded like if I was playing behind a wall.
Cheers!

Hey everyone, I am a P Mauriat Artist. These horns are the very best on the market. I played on a bunch of horns over the past several years (Mark VI, Yamaha, Yanagisawa, Selmer)....none of these horns come anywhere close to the Mauriat horns. They are extremely free blowing, fantastic intonation and extremely large projecting sound. I guarantee if you try out one of these horns you will never go back to your old horn.

Hi Karen..agree on the tenor,esp. the 66R series..try with a Theo Wanne Brahma and such a FAt rich tone...altos 67R vary alot ,I'd say 1 out of 5 are good from what I've sold/tried but when you find a good one it blows the others away!!!

Hi everyone I`m considering buying a P Mauriat 76 second edition tenor, does anyone have any feedback on these horns? I heard so many good things about them from artists but would like to hear it from actual every day players who owe these horns, I have been playing on Cannonball vintage models for about 4 years now but I find the CB lack colous in the high registers Thanks

After more then 2 years of owning a 66rul, I still love that sax. Sometimes, I go back on my old Conn for fun. I really love both saxes much more then Selmer or Yamaha. I am now recording my first cd in my name and it is with the Mauriat. What I love the most about my saxes is the vibration.
