Or did you pony up for the Super Action 80?

At that time [1987-1988], SA80s ran $4K and USA's ran $2500. I got mine as a display model for $1500. Nowadays, in good shape, the same saxes run 3500-4K for the USA and up to 6K for the SA80. Good investment. Treat her like a queen. The C-Star is a great mouthpiece, runs around $150. I also have an Adjust-O-Tone, which can be wonky, but also can produce some great timbre. It has a lever that slides a piece in the barrel that changes the mouthpiece chamber for different tonality.
