Not only are the Black Diamond Saxophones Beautiful, but they also play great
When they started the design for the Black Diamond Series Saxophones, they wanted a saxophone that the live player could use and it would offer all the things the live player needs in a saxophone.  Mostly that all clubs, weddings, concerts and generally all live performances are not held in the same location so all rooms are different.  The saxophonist must adjust to the location and room size.  So the qualities of the Black Nickel Plating came to mind.  They had made and still make saxophones with Black Nickel Bodies and Silver Plating and had made a few with Gold Lacquered keys.  They play very nicely and are very strong.  We wondered what the saxophone would play like with all Black Nickel Plating so they made a couple Prototypes and were very happy with the results.  The Black Nickel is very durable plating and adds a little weight to the instruments and provides the saxophonist with a great projection of sound.  Black Nickel does not start producing the tone as fast as Lacquer or Silver Plating but can be pushed to produce a very strong projection of tone.

This line represents Lacquer and Silver plating tone projection:
Soft__________________________________________________Loud

This line represents Black Nickel tone projection:
                       Soft__________________________________________________________Loud

*As you can see the Black Nickel can be pushed to a louder volume.

*Once again a lot of the tone production belongs to the player, mouthpiece and reed combination

Keyless Tenor

Coming Soon to the website! http://www.kdimusic.com/ The Rheuben Allen "Almost Keyless Saxophone" is a valuable learning tool for the serious student, who wants to extend the range of the saxophone and learn how to play in tune. The most important reason to practice overtones is to learn how to play in tune correctly. It's a misconception that putting the mouthpiece in just the right spot on the neck will get the saxophone to play in tune. A lot of things go into it. Using the correct reed strength with the correct mouthpiece tip opening; making sure you are playing with enough air pressure; using the correct embouchure. However perhaps the most important aspect of playing in tune is being able to control your throat position. Much like a singer, the saxophone player opens and closes their throat to fine tune the pitch of each note. Only this way will you truly be able to play in tune. Every day when you talk, your throat moves around constantly to help produce
