Acoustics

• The Series III represents a new experience in saxophone playing.

• The Series III plays with less resistance. It lets the player concentrate on the music instead of the instrument.
• As a lead alto player I can really push the Series III.
• The Series III plays with a very focused, centered, and compact sound.
