THE BELL IS LARGER THAN THE ONE ON A NORMAL TENOR SAX.

The increased diameter enhances the lower range of the instrument, and only the DC PRO SERIES II LARGE BELL Limited Edition saxophones have the large bell.

HAS EXCELLENT INTONATION AND RESPONSE, EXTRA WIDE BOW FOR FULL SOUND AND EASY EMISSION OF LOW NOTES, HIGH F# KEY.

HAS TWO NECKS,

(ONE UNLACQUERED AND ONE GOLD LAQUERED WITH LAZER ENGRAVING). HAS FULL RIBBED CONSTRUCTION FOR GREATER STABILITY. HAS A DETACHABLE BELL AND BOW.

THE GOLD LAQUERED NECK IS ANNEALED. THE ANNEALING PROCESS IS A PROCESS WITH TAKES OUT THE INTERNAL STRESS OF THE METAL AND TEMPERS IT MAKING IT STRONGER BY HEATING THE METAL AND COOLING IT DOWN VERY SLOWLY.

THE BELL IS LARGER THAT THE NORMAL SIZE BELL WHICH GREATLY ENHANCES THE SOUND QUALITY.

THE KEYS ARE MADE FROM POWER FORGED BRASS FOR EXTRA DURABILITY AND LESS CHANCE OF NEEDING CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT AND PAD REGULATION. IT HAS HIGH QUALITY ITALIAN LEATHER PADS WITH NICKEL PLATED BRASS RESONATORS FOR GOOD PROJECTECTION AND RESONANCE.

IT HAS STEEL SPRINGS FOR CONSTANTLY SMOOTH ACTION WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR FAST PASSAGES OF MUSIC.

HAS BETTER INTONATION AND EASY EMMISSION OF LOW NOTES. ALSO HAS A DOUBLE BELL BRACE FOR MORE STRENGTH.

HAS NO FINISH AND NO LACQUER IT IS ALL BRASS.

THE LACQUER RESTRICTS THE VIBRATION OF THE METAL AND PRODUCES A THINNER SOUND. THEREFORE, A HORN LIKE THIS WITHOUT ANY LAQUER OR FINISH OF ANY KIND PRODUCES A MORE NATURAL AND A MORE FULL SOUND.

SINCE IT IS BRASS IT WILL TARNISH. SO IF YOU NEED A SHINY HORN YOU CAN USE A LITTLE BRASS POLISH ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR.

IT HAS A VERY UNIQUE SOUND OF THE VINTAGE 50'S AND 60'S TOP LINE PRO HORNS.

IT HAS A DEEP, DARK, RICH, MELLOW SOUND WITH A SIZZLE TO IT.

THE SOUND IS ALMOST ADDICTIVE SO YOU WANT TO KEEP PLAYING AND PLAYING.

THE ALTISSIMO REGISTER IS VERY EASY AND THE SUBTONES AND OVERTONES PRODUCE A RICH FULL BODIED SOUND WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT.
