Specification
Neck
Reminiscence of the vintage saxophone's sophisticated design. This beautiful neck enhances the resonance and response.

Neck Screw
The flow of the phrase gets much better with this screw made of Silver Alloy. The high notes become richer and powerful. You will be surprised to find that such small screw improve drastically your sound and play.


Thumb Rest
The patented as a screw-fixing type, Wood Stone Hard Rubber Thumb rest "Vintage Style" is equipped as a standard feature. The use of high-quality hard rubber material produces a smooth sound and quick response, including soft and rich overtones.

Thumb Hook
This hook makes position of your thumb gets stable, leads to relaxing embouchure and also improves response and the resonance of the instrument with minimum contact with surface of the body. The hook doesn’t prevent the vibration of the instrument. Besides this hook makes easy control of sound volume in the whole range possible.


Nickel Silver Neck Socket
and Reinforced Rods
Using nickel silver for the neck socket makes the sound richer and more centered. Also the nickel silver rods are more endurable than the brass ones that are likely to be bent structurally.

Two-Point Mounting Brace
This two-point mounting brace enhances the resonance and response.



Low B-B♭Key Guard
The adjustable felts set to the guards touch the center of each key cup, which enable the equal key opening.

Adjustable Screws for D, E and F Keys
This new system enables you to make the key adjustment more easily and reduce the key noise.



Bell Engraving
Newly designed for this model. This precise and gorgeous hand-engraving makes this saxophone look special.

Body Rings
Newly designed body ring connecting the bell, U-shaped bow, and body reduces sound diffusion. The connection between the body and the bell is made with an original bonding method to allow direct vibration from the neck to the bell with the breath blown in, improving the quality of the instrument itself for vibration efficiency, dense sound quality, and good response.



Adjustable Rod for G# Key
This rod helps the G# key seal better by adjusting its angle and enabling itself to touch the cup flat when you push the right-hand keys.




ATTENTION
Please make sure the following attention and note that unfortunately we cannot accept any exchange and return.

●The antique finish one is not coated with lacquer. Our special process makes the Alto look vintage-like. Please note that its color also changes gradually as time passes.

●The vintage lacquer and gold lacquer is coated with thin and hard lacquer on itself in order to make the saxophone vibrate and resonate well. So, its lacquer possibily would come off by daily use but this feature brings the best advantage of the saxophone at the same time.

Please note these points before you order the saxophone.
