Untitled 3





Low Bb to High F#. Lacquered Brass and hand engraved. "The ease with which my fingers fell on to the keys was nothing short of incredible, and such a light action, a breeze to whiz around. Great Fun!! And the sound, very clear and open, revealing plenty of detail in my sound. It was very easy to control the dynamics and it responded well even with very soft playing.

This is one great soprano saxophone and when I looked at the price I was amazed. I can't think of any other soprano that offers this quality at this price. Excellent value and would be a welcome addition to any sax player's arsenal."

RRP £2895

*Apologies for vocal sound on macs

Teflon octave system

Both ends of the octave key axis rotate in a receptacle that is coated with teflon to insure a smooth operation every time

Rocking table mechanism

The C# and Bb keys have a rocking table mechanism that allows for optimal speed and fluidity between these pitches

Double connected table key

Not only are the C# and Bb keys connected with the oscillating table mechanism, but the C# and B have also adopted this same motion

"Indented" white shell keys

A player's fingers will rest comfortably in the indented white shell keys. The white shells also enhance the beauty of the instrument while also preventing the player's fingers from slipping during technical passages

Metal thumb rests

Both thumb rests on the saxophone are metal to match with the style of the saxophone and the right hand thumb hook is adjustable so that the performer can customize the feel of their saxophone

Pointed pivot screw

The pivot screws that are used have a pointed end which facilitates an accurate center and precise action

Air-tight waterproof pad

The pads are completely air-tight which supports stability in playing and their life is extended thanks to being waterproof

Blue steel springs

Blue steel springs give the player quick response and are much more resilient than stainless steel (they also last much longer)
