Black Diamond Alto Saxophone

Image
The Black Diamond Professional Alto Saxophone - Designed by Rheuben Allen - Repairman to the Hollywood Studio & Touring Woodwind Players. This saxophone is a great example of his ingenuity. The saxophone has rich, dark, and smooth tone. There were only two in existence that were made from the prototype. We have the prototype in our office. This saxophone is taken by our staff to gigs, practice, and try outs to music teachers. It runs a close second to the fabulous RAAS6L - 14K Alto Sax. Alas, there is only 1 left, and the first one was bought by a collector who doesn't play (go figure)! See the Description Below: Black Diamond Professional Alto Saxophone Model No. HSASBD Limited Edition Model - Only 1 Available  - Last One Features: The Heavy Freedom/Power Neck Brace Easy to operate High & Trill F# Keys Easy to reach Front F or Altissimo Key Black Nickel Plated Body, Neck  & Keys Leather Contour Case Rheuben Allen® Mouthpiece Manuf...

Rheuben Allen '5 Series' Saxophones

Image
 Rheuben Allen '5-Series' Power Neck Alto Saxophones  come in 3 finishes - Clear Lacquer - Black Nickel/Silver Keys - Silver These Saxophones are the latest design and inspired by Rheuben Allen 'Music Manufacturer & Woodwind Designer'. These are Intermediate Saxophones an they are designed with many of the attributes of a Professional horn with an affordable price. These are incredible horns. Heavy Freedom/Power Neck Brace This design removes the large amount of solder from under the neck that is used in the traditional neck brace. This large amount of solder under the traditional neck brace does not allow the neck to vibrate as well as with less solder. This brace is very strong and we think it looks cool. The High F# key can be reached and operated by any of the first three fingers of the right hand. This will allow the saxophonist to choose the proper fingering for the passage at hand. The Fork F# or Trill F# key can be reached with very little fi...
