Features
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
Metal resonator
The metal resonators give clarity to the sound of the
instrument in all dynamic ranges
Blue steel springs
Blue steel springs give the player quick response and are
much more resilient than stainless steel (they also last
much longer) |
