The 52nd Street Bb tenor saxophone offers a robust, authentic tone with modern playability. Handcrafted with premium features for the professional musician, the 52nd Street tenor sax blends vintage-inspired style with innovative design.

An Unlacquered, Vintage-Inspired Finish

The 52nd Street tenor sax features an unlacquered brass finish that develops a unique patina over time, reminiscent of vintage horns. The unlacquered brass gives the instrument a warm, rich tone that opens up as it ages. The aged appearance also provides visual appeal that complements the horn’s vintage-inspired sound.

Hand-Hammered, Oversized Bell

A hand-hammered, oversized bell helps produce a big, projecting tone with clear focus. The bell’s prominent flare enhances brightness and punch, allowing the 52nd Street tenor sax to cut through loud environments. The hand-hammered construction also helps generate a rich low end and spread throughout the instrument’s range.

Rolled-Style Tone Holes

Rolled-style tone holes provide a quick response and enhance tonal qualities. The rolled-style tone holes allow notes to speak immediately and give the 52nd Street tenor sax a robust, spread sound, especially in the lower register. The larger surface area of the rolled-style tone holes also extends pad life, reducing maintenance needs.

Ergonomic Keywork with Blued Steel Springs

High-performance features include ergonomic keywork and blued steel springs. The 52nd Street tenor sax’s key layout provides a natural feel, while the blued steel springs deliver precision and durability. The keywork’s smooth action and crisp response enable technical facility, ideal for demanding passages. Adjustable palm keys and a thumb rest further boost playability.

Padded Case for Protection and Portability

A padded case protects the 52nd Street tenor sax during transport and storage. The case’s durable, padded construction keeps the instrument safe from damage. Generous exterior pockets provide storage for accessories. Padded straps make the case easy to carry, supporting the 52nd Street tenor sax’s portability for gigging and rehearsing musicians.
