P Mauriat 66RX Tenor Saxophone, Dark Vintage

Full Description

Premium build quality

Each and every premium P Mauriat saxophone is manufactured in a top-class workshop in Taiwan. Not only does this guarantee a flawless build quality, but it also enables quality control to be perfect.

What really makes the 66RX tenor saxophone stand out are the rolled tone holes. The majority of saxophone manufacturers make the body, then solder separate metal rings onto the body to form the tone holes. This requires putting the body through unnecessary heat treatment, and in the worst cases, means the tone holes can fall off. P Mauriat has designed a proprietary manufacturing method that enables them to roll the tone hole edge out, creating a one-piece body and tone hole. This results in far fewer solder-joints and a tone that is free, centred, and resonant.

Beautifully vintage design

If you're looking for a saxophone with a vintage feel, then the 66RX is the instrument for you. No doubt the first thing you'll notice about the sax is the vintage finish. Mauriat refers to this as their Dark Vintage finish, and it's truly reminiscent of the instruments you'd find in jazz clubs in the 1930s.

Something you may not have noticed at your first glance is the large bell. This enlarged design produces a warm and fat tone to complement the saxophone's Dark Vintage finish. As an extra special finish, the 66RX features hand-engraved embellishment on the bell which looks truly breathtaking.

The third and final feature which slots the Mauriat 66RX into the vintage era are the enlarged nickel-silver key touches. Compared to the keys you'd find on a standard saxophone, these key touches provide an effortless feel and facilitate natural vibration throughout the sax. This sort of design enables you to really feel the nuance of every note that you play, bringing you closer to the music.

Everything you need

When you receive your new P Mauriat saxophone, you will notice that it comes with a few extra accessories. The included soft contoured case will provide outstanding protection to your saxophone. Boasting a lightweight shock-absorbing frame, this case is sure to look after your instrument no matter what happens to it. On the outside of the case, you will find two handles, a padded shoulder strap, and multiple pockets to carry all your accessories. The inside is lined with a gorgeous blue soft-touch material to ensure the finish on your saxophone is always perfect. As well as a case, you will also receive a P Mauriat mouthpiece and a vintage ligature.
