The 52nd Street saxophone is a professional instrument and comes unlacquered for a truly vintage appearance. It is an exceptionally responsive horn in all registers and produces a big, fat sound with precise intonation. A larger bell and rolled-style tone holes on the lower stack contribute to the sound qualities of this instrument that many compare to some of the great vintage horns of the past.

This instrument is a prototype of a new design for the 52nd Street Alto! It only has rolled tone holes on the lower stack of the instrument, making the upper register more free-blowing and vibrant, while maintaining the rich core sound of the lower register.
