Body options:

• Brass for a conventional response and tone from a handmade British sax.
• Phosphor bronze for a fuller sound and warmer tone, especially in the mid and lower range. Often likened to the tone of vintage sax's. Looks very "special" with a slightly darker color than brass.
• Rose brass has a higher copper content for additional brightness & power, and looks gorgeous!
• Solid sterling silver (high grade European 925 standard). Gives a more "velvety" sound throughout the range with additional stability for tuning and tone. More tonal contrast available to the player and extra power in reserve for loud playing.
• Un-lacquered Brass releases the sax from the dampening effects of the lacquer allowing it to resonate more freely. Additional cleaning required or it will soon start to tarnish

Crook options:

• Changing just the crook is a relatively inexpensive way of improving your sax providing many of the benefits listed above for the different metals. Choose from brass, phosphor bronze, rose brass, solid silver or un-lacquered crooks.

Bell and Bow options:

• Flared bell - gives extra projection & a bigger sound especially on the low bell notes. It also has attractive additional engraving around the inner lip of the bell. Pictured right in phosphor bronze.
• Thick walled bell & bow section - (Solid silver only) All the benefits of solid silver but even more so! Marginally heavier. Pictured right with "925 tube F" European Sterling silver mark
