The Eb Alto Saxophone 6M
King of the saxophones and most popular member of the family. This new model meets all demands of modern engagements. It has plenty of "sock" for the theatre, dance or band man but can be throttled down to whisper of sweetest purity for radio type of playing. Power and volume are there when need-ed, but this power is held under such delicate control that it can be cut down to a whisper without losing its character and sweet tonal coloring. This has been accomplished by a scale of unusual accuracy in intonation and uniformity in blowing pressure, and by a mechanism that is positive and precise in its control, fast and light in its response and effortless to manipulate. Artists praise particularly the free response of high E and F and accurate tuning of middle and low D. Many exclusive, patented features. Used by a host of America's greatest saxophone artists.
