It was only 3 days ago that I was asking some rather rhetorical questions<\/a> about new, inexpensive bass saxophones, since I had noticed some significant sale\u00a0prices on eBay, and even\u00a0at WWBW.<\/p>\n

While having my coffee this AM, I was poking around on eBay, and found 2 more, new, inexpensive, presumably Asian-made bass saxophone “brands”, that I had never heard of. I’m putting brands in quotes, because for the first one I found, there was no brand name listed. So I’ll just call it No Name Brand Chinese Horn<\/a>, or NNBCH for short.<\/p>\n

NNBCH can be yours for the Buy It Now Price of $6,999, which includes free shipping from\u00a0“Beijing, Beijing Olympic, China”.<\/p>\n

Now if this NNBCH doesn’t exactly float your boat, or you feel if you’re going to spend $7k on a horn, you’d like it to have a brand name, then perhaps this next offering is more for to your liking…<\/p>\n

This new bass saxophone is being sold under the brand name\u00a0I&K<\/a> (factory located in undisclosed Asian country, that manufacturers bass saxophones for other companies as well most likely). The sax is being sold by a dealer in Australia, so shipping is going to potentially be costly, depending on where it’s going. (No free shipping included on this baby.)<\/p>\n
