Not only are the Black Diamond Saxophones are Beautiful  and Gorgeous looking... It Plays Outstanding and it is the only one left. I believe only one was made and this is it..  Probably Never to be reproduced again. Copied, but never the original. Part of the Black Diamond Family of Saxophones. When Rheuben started the design for the Black Diamond Series Saxophones he 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. He still makes saxophones with Black Nickel Bodies and Silver Plating and had made a few with Gold Lacquered keys. They play very nice and are very strong. He wondered what the saxophone would sound like with all Black Nickel Plating s...

We are excited to finally get our hands on the NEW Kenny G ES-Series Soprano Saxophones. They come in two finishes  - Silver Body/Lacquered Keys and the Lacquer Body & Keys. Playing wise - They play really well and they are the replacements for the Kenny G E-Series III models. They have a single post construction, and  an excellent dynamic range. They have great intonation, and great response throughout the entire range of the saxophone. Full Body Hand Engraving. Single Post Construction and the Silver Plated Body are a great combination….  the soprano vibrates very well, with exceptional dynamic range. We also got our hands on the Kenny G 85% Copper Alto Saxophone (It comes with Two Necks) and a Soprano Saxophone. They are a Professional Model, and comparing them to our shop standard instruments.. (we will not name them) - All we can say is Wow!! - Dark Tone, fast response, very resonating, and they look better in person than the pictures depict.. Com...

The 2017 NAMM Show was exciting with new finishes on Saxophones. We saw Gold Lacquer, Antique, Champagne, Crystal, Black, White, Red Lacquer, and almost any kind of finish you can imagine. We played other Saxophones from various other manufacturers, and it is amazing that there are just so many of them. Pricing ranging from inexpensive to very high. It came to our conclusion - The inexpensive ones do play, but not easy to blow, tone is dead, and for beginner saxophone players - the drop out must be huge.. The expensive ones played well, great tone, and easy to play.. Alas, unless you are an advance student, then yes get that expensive instrument.. You want to save some $$$, then check out either the Rheuben Allen Saxophone line or the Kenny G Saxophone line. You will not be disappointed.  We saw the Kenny G Saxophone line - 85% Copper Soprano, Alto, & Tenor Saxophones - By they way not being self promoting but it played the best. Rich tone, easy to play, and loved the en...

Not only are the   Black Diamond Saxophones are Beautiful   - They Play Outstanding!! When Rheuben Allen started to create the design for the   Black Diamond   Series Saxophones he wanted a saxophone that a live player could use.  Mostly that all clubs, weddings, concerts and generally most live performances are not held in the same location and all rooms are different acoustically. The saxophonist must adjust to the location and room size.  So the qualities of the Black Nickel Plating came to mind.  He still makes saxophones with Black Nickel Bodies and Silver Plating and had made a few with Gold Lacquered keys.  They play very nice and are very strong.  He wondered what the saxophone would sound like with all Black Nickel Plating so he made a couple Prototypes and was very happy with the results. They did everything he had hoped.  Black Nickel is very durable plating and adds a little weight to the instruments providing t...
