Black Diamond Professional Straight Soprano

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...

Saxophones, Saxophones & More Saxophones

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...
