Quality Hand Finished Mouthpiece
Suzuki Concertino Collection Alto Saxophone mouthpieces are constructed of the finest high grade solid plastic. This allows for accurate chamber, rails and tip with a medium close tip opening and lay. Each mouthpiece is hand finished with special emphasis given to the crucial mouthpiece tip. Complete with ligature, 2 reeds and metal mouthpiece cap.
Matte/Nickel Body with Gold Lacquered Keys
This combination of unique metals create the hippest Alto Saxophone available today. Additionally, the unique matte/nickel body creates a warm tone quality as well as a striking visual appearance. Beautiful contrasting gold lacquered keys are powered forged for precision and accuracy. Every performance will put you in the spotlight.
Beautifully Engraved Bell and Musique Logo
The Suzuki Concertino Collection Alto Saxophone has expertly hand engraved logo and surrounding art work. The engraved logo on the saxophone bell is beautiful, yet especially difficult to produce due to the compound curve of the saxophone bell. Hand art engraving even extends to the inside of the saxophone bell. No other alto saxophone in this price range has this extensive attention to detail.
Pro Stack, Fifth Finger, Octave and F# Keys
The saxophone "stack" key group is one of the most difficult mechanisms on all woodwind instruments. The design of the Suzuki left hand stack key is balanced in design and easily manipulated by the left hand fifth finger. They work smoothly and effortlessly because of equalized spring resistance and no excessive spacing between key and roller. The octave key has double cork bumpers and no lateral rod to post movement. High F# key is positioned for comfort and reachable by any sized right hand.
Imported Leather Pads and Metal Resonating Discs
Manufacturers have begun using synthetic pads and plastic resonator cups to save cost and cut corners. The Suzuki Concertino Collection Saxophone maintains the use of higher quality leather/metal combination. The advantage is durability, better tone projection and superior sound projection. Carefully hand seated imported leather pads are exclusively used to give the player the best opportunity to create even the most difficult notes.
Hand Assembled and Adjusted Keys
Saxophones are notorious for adjustment problems of the large keys and long rods resulting in poor tone and difficulty in producing certain notes. Suzuki Concertino Collection Saxophones feature hand assembled and adjusted keys for perfect fit resulting in smooth key operation and remarkably professional sound. Rich, warm, focused and centered, you will appreciate its beautifully expressive tone quality.
