Our Price (excluding vat): £251.30 (£289.00 Including VAT at 15%)

Which model?

Selmer Alto Copper Neck
Enhance your Selmer alto with a copper crook. Copper gives a big, loud, direct and focused sound, but does not lose any richness. It makes the tone more resonant and creates better clarity and projection. Also, it adds increased tonal and dynamic control.

Our Price (excluding vat): £212.18 (£244.01 Including VAT at 15%)

Series II or III?

Selmer Reference Alto Neck

Antiqued matt or Old gold lacquer?

Selmer Alto Series III Booster Neck
The "BOOSTER" has been developed by Selmer (Paris) with spiral grooves on the inside tenon of the neck. This different surface changes the air flow producing a more focused sound and enhances high pitched sounds with a broad and rich tone.

Clear lacquer finish.

Keilwerth Alto Copper Neck
This Crook fits Keilwerth saxes EX90, SX90 & SX90R.

"The copper crook instantly gave a big, loud, direct and focused sound, but didn't lose any richness. It makes the tone more resonant and creates better clarity and projection. Also, it adds increased tonal and dynamic control. One of the most notable combo's is with the black nickel plate and the solid nickel silver saxes". - Tritsan at saxophones.co.uk.

Our Price (excluding vat): £222.61 (£256.00 Including VAT at 15%)

Yanagisawa 64 Brass Alto Neck
I tried fitting this crook to a Yani 991 and found that this crook gave a more internalised and brighter tone than the standard Yani brass crook. Particularly around the mid-register, the tone was more focussed in middle frequencies, giving a very 'upfront' response.

In terms of fitting these crooks on other saxes, I found that they slot nicely on to the Yamaha 62 and Custom models, but I found them to be very loose on all Selmer and Keilwerth saxophones.

Our Price (excluding vat): £121.74 (£140.00 Including VAT at 15%)

Yanagisawa 65 Brass Alto Neck
I found the tone on this crook a lot fuller and more open than the 64. It seemed similar to the standard 991 crook, but with a tad more breadth to the tone for my money. It also produced a very expansive sub-tone. Very nice stuff!

Yanagisawa 66 Brass Alto Neck
I found this crook to be fairly similar to the 64 in tone. Perhaps a tad more edge and hardness overall, and I don't think it was quite as open as the 65. A good choice if you want to cut through!

Yanagisawa 92 Bronze Alto Neck
If there is one criticism that's occassionally made about the Yani A901 it's that the tone is a little lightweight. Well, here's the solution - put a bronze crook on it. Tested here by our own Jim Cheek he described it as warmer with a more breathy vintage tone.

Our Price (excluding vat): £173.91 (£200.00 Including VAT at 15%)

Yanagisawa 192 Gold Plated Bronze Alto Neck
This is Jim & Tristan's favourite. More open so less resistant allowing more air to flow through the sax. More resonant and more responsive. Basically, a bit more of everything you want!

Our Price (excluding vat): £426.09 (£490.00 Including VAT at 15%)

Yanagisawa 95 Sterling Silver Alto Neck
"This solid silver crook reduces resistance when you blow and really opens the sound up. Its as if the air flows more smoothly over the silver. I tried it on my Guardala and the improvement was instantaneous and dramatic. For the same amount of effort so much more sound comes out of the sax. " Phill.

Our Price (excluding vat): £573.91 (£660.00 Including VAT at 15%)

Yamaha Custom G1 Alto Neck
The G1 Neck has less resistance, can play very loud yet has a more focused sound with added flexibility.

Gold lacquered brass.

Our Price (excluding vat): £169.57 (£195.01 Including VAT at 15%)
