KENNY G - ‘E Series’ Soprano"Since the arrival of Kenny G saxes in our stores we have perhaps put more emphasis on the status of the G Series and almost left the E Series aside. Having just tried one again I feel it is my duty to tell you all just how fantastic these sopranos are! The sound is full-blown, chunky and very fluid. In some ways it reminds me of the ‘chunkiness’ associated with the Keilwerth SX90 range. For me, there is a satisfying feeling associated with producing this kind of sound on a soprano as it can sometimes be a battle trying to eliminate the thin and brittle element that can so often be inherent in the sound. The other aspect to this sax that so impresses me is that it is so playable! The action is fluid and extremely comfortable, it seems effortless when playing arpeggios and rapid progressions up and down the range of the instrument. Just a joy to play!For the purposes of my tests I was using the black nickel model and I compared it with a Yanagisawa S901 and a P. Mauriat System 76. It’s true to say that they all have their unique tonal characteristics but there’s no doubt in my mind that the E Series model can hold it’s own against this level of instrument. Considering its price tag this sax offers value for money in abundance." jim@sax.co.uk
