This has to be one of the most exciting things to happen to the sax world in modern times. Finally: a modern sax that actually captures the sound and feel of those treasured classic saxes of the past!, while adding state-of-the art intonation and mechanism!
Based on the scale of the classic '62' models, this new Custom Z sax has a body made of a special brass alloy for lighter weight, a great playing 'feel,' and the kind of tonal flexibility you've always dreamed of. The Z plays evenly in all ranges, and gives you a huge dynamic range for as much-or as little-sound as you want. The Custom G1 neck helps produce a quick and agile response, while key action and placement feel just right.
You can create whatever style tone you're after, from vintage to contemporary, and there's no need to sacrifice comfort for sound. This horn literally has it all!
