An improved version of the classic Custom 875, the 875EX is the result of decades of painstaking research and trials involving some of the world's greatest saxophonists. It features a smooth response and a deep, refined sound full of rich colors, as well as a solid feel with quick and nimble action, a wide dynamic range, stunning projection, and an authoritative tone with a beautifully defined total core.
You will find that the depth and smoothness of the resulting sound is simply incredible, making this horn very flexible in any kind of setting. The size and shape of the key buttons have been changed for a better 'feel', while the new Custom neck enhances tonal resonance and gives a quicker, more comfortable response. On top of all that, this sax features a two-point bell brace for better efficiency, so you don't have to work as hard to sound great!
A must-have for the serious player!
