P. Mauriat, 66RDK

Dsc_0244 View More

Saxophone, Tenor, New, Professional level.

This saxophone is a classic favorite. As with all of P. Mauriat's Rolled Tone Hole models, the truly unique rolling process uses the saxophone's existing material; unlike rolled tone holes of the past, there is no soldering here, the tone holes are drawn from the body and then rolled over allowing superior resonance throughout the entire saxophone and increased response in all ranges. They've also enlarged the bell to compliment an already warm, fat sound. The 66RDK, complimented with the warm tone of dark lacquer, gives players a warm round sound they will fall in love with. Comes with a ProTec style case and mouthpiece.
