This saxophone was bought in June 2007. It replaces a similar one that was stolen from me in October, 2006 in Caracas. It has a vintage looking silver plating, with 24 carat gold plating on the bell and keys. The bell, bow, body and neck are also wonderfully hand engraved.
The sound is loud and clear, but it has a sweetness to it. It is not harsh at all. The other one I had was all vintage silver and sounded a bit more intense. This one sounds wonderful in all registers and is lots of fun to play. I built up the high D palm key to make it more comfortable. I find the curved soprano much more comfortable to play than the straight one. It is easier on my right thumb, even so, I always use a strap.

I bought the horns from Matt at www.Saxforte.com. I highly recommend his services.
