We wanted our Handmade to be completely set apart from anything else on the market. So we went all out on it.

This Used Model has been Upgraded with

The *Roo Pro Pads * & *The Saxgourmet Power Point Solid Copper RESONATORS.*

Kangaroo leather is one of the strongest light weight leathers available. Kangaroo has been shown to have a highly uniform orientation of fibre bundles in parallel with the skin surface. It does not contain sweat glands or erector pili muscles and elastin is evenly distributed throughout the skin thickness. This structural uniformity explains the greater tensile strength of the leather. 

This results in amazing abrasion and tear resistance, which are just the qualities a saxophonist needs. To test the leather, we snip the edge of the hide with scissors and attempt to tear the leather by hand. If it can be torn, we don`t use it. 

Why are RooPads™ kangaroo pads better?

• RooPads™ don`t stick! (isn`t that enough?)
• RooPads™ reduce pad noise!
• RooPads™ offer a firm professional feel!
• RooPads™ leather is the most durable!

Finally! A firm and extremely durable Saxophone pad that does not stick and will not make noise. Why choose anything else?

*Saxgourmet Power Point Resonators

These are simply the finest resonators available anywhere, at any price. They are our own unique design, and are available nowhere else. The sets are machined from a billet of SOLID COPPER……there are no seams or joints. Each set is custom sized for your specific horn (be sure to let us know the exact make and model) and can be significantly oversized upon your request. The unique conical shape dramatically increases the area of the reflective surface without significantly reducing the internal volume of the tone hole chimney. The Power Point Resonators tightly attach to your pads by means of a screw and washer system and may be re-used whenever pads are replaced. They are simply the last resonators you will ever have to buy!

*I ALSO ATTACHED SOME ADDITIONAL METALS TO THE BOTTOM BOW OF THE INSTRUMENT FOR GREATER SOUND PROJECTION.. IT IS A COMBINATION OF BRONZE..COPPER.. BRASS & PEWTER!!

PLEASE FORGIVE THE ROUGH AND RAW APPEARANCE OF THESE ADDITIONAL CUSTOMIZATIONS...

Also it is very difficult to find Saxophones that have these Upgraded Customized Features priced in this price range due to inflation and the overall costs of precious metals etc... but you can take Advantage of this by utilizing loan companies such as Affirm and Klarna as I have over the years to make these types of purchases with greater ease.. You can get a SUPER FANTASTIC SOUND OUT OF THIS HORN I HAVE VIDEO CLIPS AVAILABLE 😀
