BAMBOO SAXOPHONES |
| These bamboo
saxophones are unique instruments. A traditional saxophone mouthpiece,
fused onto a piece of bamboo, gives these instruments an incredibly
sax-like sound enjoyed by novice & experienced alike. These
instruments are being used by a wide variety of professional musicians,
including a Grammy Award winning saxophonist. Yet, if you have never
played a saxophone, and always wanted to learn, now is your chance. Not
only are these economically priced, you will find them a simpler
instrument to learn on. They have one full octave of range, and are
fully chromatic (play all sharps and flats). They have an upper range
available at an octave and a half. They come complete with new
mouthpiece (alto), reed, cap, ligature (holds reed in place), warranty,
songbook and instructions. Because of the physical acoustics of
reeded instruments, these instruments play one octave lower than you
would expect an instrument of this size to play. Because they play
in the fundamental (lower) range, they will sound lower than their
"parent" instrument, which most often play in the upper range. |
