Following the success of our Heritage necks for tenor saxophones, I wanted to achieve the same tonal goals of flexibility and openness for the alto saxophone. It took me over a year to perfect it, but the result is something I can proudly say is on par with its tenor counterpart. <\/p>\n
Inspired by the freedom and higher neck angles found on older Selmer necks (Balanced Action and Radio Improved), the Heritage neck for alto opens up the more muted areas of the saxophone, particularly the middle register, and adds resistance and, therefore, more richness to the sound of the palm key notes. It’s a balancing act to achieve the right amount of projection while maintaining the core of the sound and keeping intonation easy; that’s why it took me over a year! <\/p>\n
In any case, I am very excited to share these necks with you and I hope you like them as much as I do.<\/p>\n

Heritage necks are manufactured with precision and exact tolerances to ensure consistency, and are individually hand-engraved.<\/p>\n
At our workshop in Boston, before being sent to our premises in Barcelona, we can adjust the neck free of charge to fit the following models: all vintage Selmer models, all current Selmer models, Yanagisawa, Yamaha, P. Mauriat, Cannonball, Eastman and all other saxophones manufactured in Taiwan. That said, there may be millimetric differences in diameter that need to be adjusted by a local technician, who will have the neck and body of your saxophone at their disposal. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We usually order these necks to order, and we depend on the manufacturer’s stock.<\/p>\n
Note: The Bare Brass (lacquer-free brass) finish will form its own patina naturally over time and with handling.<\/p>\n
