Sax legend Bob Mintzer's first choice of saxophone. A serious
heavyweight addition to our pro sax range, the 52nd Street Soprano
captures a classic vintage sound – full bodied and free blowing – and
combines this with wonderful ergonomics.
The 52nd Street saxophone is a professional instrument and comes
un-lacquered for a truly vintage appearance. It is an exceptionally
responsive horn in all registers from low to high, and produces a big,
fat sound with precise intonation. A larger bell and rolled-style tone
holes contribute to the sound qualities of this instrument that many
compare to some of the great vintage horns of the past. Solid
construction with comfortable hand position and extras such as
adjustable palm keys.

Reviews:
"In-line with the alto and tenor, this 52nd Street soprano also shows
the same characteristics of having that full-bodied and spread sound.
For me it feels like they’ve captured that vintage element with the
entire range, and for those players who have always enjoyed playing
perhaps a Mark VI soprano, this model stacks up nicely in comparison. It
also has a one piece design, which in my opinion adds to the
completeness of the sound and the ease of playing it. A truly great
instrument!" - Jim (sax.co.uk)

All transaction information passed between our website and the SagePay Payment System is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and all messages from SagePay are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely secure in the knowledge that nothing passed to SagePay can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.
Once on the SagePay system, all sensitive data is secured using the same internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards used by, among others, the US Government. The encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but impossible to extract. The data they hold is extremely secure and they are regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.
SagePay has multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with.
No individuals within our company or SagePay are able to decrypt transaction information or cardholder data.
