PMXT - 66Rreview by Jean-Philippe Cote
Hey there, The reason I bought a P. Mauriat is because I got a saxophone stolen. I have a Conn Chu Berry but start having problems with my left pinky practicing technic and scales. At this time, I didn't know about P. Mauriat. I bought a Borgani that I liked but I never felt satisfied of the sound then the Conn. Someone stole it from me and the insurances accepted to pay me back a part of it. By the help of internet, I started an interest with the P. Mauriat saxes. Working on a ship (with my Conn) I tried 4 different models and totally felt in love with the 66-RUL. After a couple of months playing with my new sax, I decided to compare the sound with my Conn, like I used to do. I didn't feel that insatisfaction that I used to have with my previous sax. The sound is different from the old Conn but I get the same buzz about it. The sound is much more focused and even all over the horn. The technic is perfect. I added a riser to the D palm key because I have big hands. I am now playing my 66-RUL since 6 months now (with a Jody Jazz mouthpiece) and it vibrates like crazy giving me a big, warm sound and without having problem with my pinky. I play everyday and I am sure I made the right choice buying a P. Mauriat. other reviewsAndy Sheppard
“It has become my main workhorse, I've already taken it to France, Italy and Israel (playing in the desert in 50 degrees heat - no problem!). I'm having a great time making music with my new "old" horn...”
Dan Stern
“Even tone quality, great intonation and easy response of a modern horn, and the sound of classic vintage horns. Playing a Mauriat allows me to focus all my energy on the music, and not on making the horn play!”
Massimo Carboni
“"Tenor saxophone PMXT-66RG is a free-blowing and powerful horn with a big, full and clear tone. Its response is so fast and effortless that anyone playing the Mauriat for the first time will be really surprised for the huge and roaring tone it delivers. Beside its fine sonical qualities, the P.Mauriat PMXT-66RG is a really solid saxophone, building quality and assembling are first class as well as it is its beautiful appearance."”
Roberto Benitez
“After having the opportunity of playing for a long time on two excellent P.Mauriat Saxophones: Alto: PMXA-67R CL and Tenor: PMXT-66R CL, I can certainly say that they are instruments of first class in every way.”
Adam Klemm
“I recommend the P.Mauriat saxophones to players who are looking for a vintage sound and feel, but modern intonation and key work. The sound is really outstanding. PMXT 66R has its own personality.”
Darren Rahn
“It has such a great combination of resonance, clarity, and a wonderfully even sound from top to bottom. It is a one-of-a-kind horn that elevates my playing to another level. When I'm playing the Black Pearl it just feels like home base to me... to say that I love it is an understatement!”
Alejandro Chiabrando
“When I tried for first time a P.Mauriat I could not believe that a horn made today could sound so good and be so easy to play. I thought that it was only a privilege from the vintage horns.”
Dmitri Mospan
“In the sound of my P. Mauriat PMXT 66R there is an original sound idea I have never heard in any other instrument.”
Enrico Galante
“I currently endorse the PMST-87 Tenor which is a very warm sounding horn with a bite. I have played various styles of music with it and it never lets me down. Just recently I have had the pleasure of trying the PMXT-66R DK. Immediately after I played my first note I yelled out "WOW" !!!!”
Patrick Trahan
“My 66RUL is the best of both worlds. It boasts the great sound of the great vintage saxophones with modern day keywork and great intonation. ”
Remi Alvarez
“For me personally the most important thing is the sound, that´s my inspiration. The 66RUL has that deep sound that inspires all that crazy musical ideas that characterize my music...”
Enrico Galante
“Thank you P Mauriat for making these excellent horns.I currently am an Artist Endorser for P Mauriat here in Toronto Canada. I have been playing the PMST-87 Tenor which has a certain warmth with a lot of bite. Just recently I have fallen in love with the PMXT 66R DK .”
Marco Spedaliere
“The first time I played the Tenor Sax RUL66 my thought was immediately:
"WOW I also want the Soprano!!!"
The sound was really exceptional and also the action was really comfortable.”
Denzil Carnyorth
“66RUL What a fabulous bright and cutting sound, mellow in all the right places and breaking it's way through where I want to make the moment... The naturallly aging finish 'lives' with me and evolves with my journey.”
Edvin Ekman
“I´ve been playing the 66R UL since christmas now and i´m still in love with it. The action, feel and the projection is just astonishing. One big difference from my other saxophone, yamaha yts-25 is that the low notes and the altissimo just pops out with an amazing intonation and clarity plus that theres more fatness and depth to it. Another important difference is that you get in touch with the instrument and your sound really fast and easy with this horn. It resonates with you!”
PMXT - 66RUL -Josh Coleman
“I got my P.Mauriat about three years ago and I have to say that it's quite an amazing horn, good response in all registers and very well rounded tone.”
