**The “E-Series-II Soprano Saxophones are in Stock!!!

This Soprano Saxophone features a bore design based on the horn Kenny G plays.

Comes with a Light Weight Corduro Case

Thank you for understanding and we are sure when you purchase the Kenny G “E-Series-II” Soprano Saxophone. You will love the way they play.

Altissimo Key Option

The harmonic key that comes on the "E-Series II" soprano saxophone (as you can see in the photo) opens the Palm E key to product the front F or bridge the fingerings between the natural range of the soprano and the altissimo range.

Option No. 2...As you look at the design of this key it opens the Palm F key to produce the Front F or bridge the gap.......


The "E-Series II" is of course the first soprano in production to provide the saxophonist with this feature and choice of altissimo key designs.

All the saxophonist needs to do is unscrew the harmonic key rod... pull off the harmonic key... replace it with the second harmonic key and screw the rod back.

Two Different Harmonic Key Designs come with each soprano.

It is considered by many great soprano saxophonist that the Mark VI style body sopranos should use the Palm E key to product the altissimo or harmonic notes on the soprano and no the traditional High F palm key.....

When Rheuben first saw Kenny play, he noticed Kenny G uses the palm E key to product the notes bridging the gap between the natural range of the saxophone and the altissimo.

Kenny G's Soprano Saxophone has a natural range to High F.

Rheuben Allen gave Kenny two prototypes to try one with traditional high F Palm key being opened by the harmonic key and the other opening the Palm E key. He said he liked something about both. So after they talked and he played a little more we decided it would be easy to offer both choices with each instrument.

Once again Kenny has helped revolutionize not only the sound of the soprano saxophone but now the mechanics of the instrument.

The altissimo key option of the NEW Kenny G “E-Series II” sopranos gives the soprano saxophonist the choice for the first time of an altissimo key that fits their style and mouthpiece combination.

Bore Design

First to copy the bore of the soprano Kenny plays very closely. Rheuben Allen made only a few minor adjustments to the one hole placement to improve the intonation and response. These slight adjustments in the bore now allows the instrument to have better intonation with either the short shank or the new very long soprano mouthpieces.

The NEW “E-Series II” Soprano is slightly shorter than the original soprano with a completely different bore design.

Key Design

For the key design Rheuben decided to combine the good features of the two original sopranos. They took the upper stack and key work design from the original “G-Series” making the soprano feel more like a professional soprano. They used the palm key design from the original “E-Series” as it is a modern design making it easier to switch between alto and soprano or tenor and soprano.

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 ...
