The Heritage neck for tenor saxophone was conceived from my two passions: restoring antique saxophones and playing them. As a repairer, I have had the privilege of examining and testing hundreds of vintage necks and incorporating the best of each of them into the design of the Heritage neck. A significant influence on this neck comes from the “free blowing” characteristics I have found in vintage Selmers, such as the Radio Improved and Balanced Action models, which have necks with more open angles. These models are increasingly difficult to find, and often people prefer their sound but not their ergonomics, so I set out to produce a neck that would allow musicians to experience the magic of these vintage saxophones in more standard instruments. After several years of measuring and adjusting the angles of the neck, and many prototypes, the Heritage neck was born. <\/p>\n
The Heritage neck sounds more flexible and has more amplitude than a standard Mark VI-style neck without sacrificing control or tuning. Due to its greater angle, it also feels like you are blowing further down the saxophone, which reduces resistance. I find that the Heritage neck gives the musician more space to push the air and opens up the mid-range, which is often more muted on the tenor, producing a more consistent sound throughout the saxophone. It is the neck of my dreams, and I am proud to share it with you. <\/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
