Inspired by the rich heritage of vintage saxophone craftsmanship, the Virtuoso Series builds on the traditions of early saxophone artisans. Collaborating with industry luminaries such as Tim Ries (The Rolling Stones, Maria Schneider) and the legendary Michael Brecker, these saxophones are crafted to deliver a powerful, rich tone with exceptional clarity and depth.

• Tone: Known for its full-bodied sound, the Virtuoso Series offers a commanding presence that projects brilliantly while maintaining the sensitivity needed for expressive ballads.


• Design: Ergonomically contoured for balanced key action, the saxophones provide unparalleled comfort and efficiency, catering to both demanding professionals and enthusiasts of vintage designs.


• Finishes: Available in seven distinct finishes—Lacquer (as pictured), Antique Matte, Silver Plated, Black Nickel, Dark Lacquer, and Unlacquered. Gold Plated options are also available (ask your representative for pricing).


• Range: Extends up to high F#, offering versatile capabilities for a wide range of musical styles.


• Construction: Ribbed body design for enhanced resonance and durability.


• Tone Boosters: Plastic tone boosters that enhance sound projection and tonal clarity.


• Pads: High-quality leather pads for optimal seal and responsiveness.


• Springs: Blue steel springs ensuring smooth and reliable key action.


• Pivot Screws: Stainless steel pivot screws for long-lasting durability and precision.


• Key Features: Articulated low B-C# key mechanism and guide for the low C# post, with a pants guard for added protection.


• Case: Comes with a fabric-covered backpack-style zippered case with a plush interior, providing secure and convenient transport.

The Virtuoso Series represents a perfect fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation, designed to meet the needs of the most discerning saxophonists while offering a seamless transition for those who appreciate the vintage saxophone legacy.
