I have since purchased one and use it permanently when playing tenor sax, whether I’m gigging, practising, or making videos! I have always found it incredibly uncomfortable playing tenor with a regular strap – and I would go as far as saying that is bad for one’s physical health – however, this new design is revolutionary. It removes the discomfort and ‘faffyness’ factor from traditional harnesses by having none of those fiddly side connection straps and instead uses a design that perfectly aligns with the shape of the player’s shoulders. After a little experimentation with the shaping of the underlying aluminium strips, I soon found the perfect setting for me and I’ve not looked back ever since.

Firstly, the BWO10 includes a ‘fully ribbed’ construction – this means that there are strips of brass soldered onto the body of the sax, on to which the various pillars are then soft-soldered themselves. This gives added ‘body’ to the tone while offering even further solidarity of design. Secondly, the Elite series offers double arms on the lowest and most vulnerable keys, again adding stability to the setup. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clear Lacquer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eKey Touches:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mother of Pearl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yanagisawa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eEngraving\u003c\/strong\u003e: Engraved\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e: New stylish case with Backpack Straps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yanagisawa Hard Rubber\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Free Professional Set Up \u0026amp; Free Check over within a year\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eRecommended for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Advancing students, professionals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eStaff Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI simply love this baritone!

For me, it has a medium resistance, typical of Selmer saxes in general – this sax will be heavily compared with YAS62 and AW01 as it’s in the same price bracket, and having played a few phrases on all three back to back you really notice that the two Japanese models have a lot more ‘pop’ and ‘ripeness’ to the sound, generally their sound is very immediate. The Axos has a little more resistance, and as a result that iconic ‘Selmer sound’ comes out – having compared it to both Series II and III you can hear the difference, although to me it’s much closer to a Series II, but perhaps without the same drive and absolute fullness, however, it’s very close. My immediate reaction was that I felt like I was playing on a Selmer Paris saxophone, but for only two thirds the price, which is really impressive! They have managed to retain that depth of tone and lushness that you associate with French Selmer.\"  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Penny - Saxophone Specialist \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\"It is interesting to see a brand as established as Selmer broadening out to the entry pro level.

Personally I found it darker than the Yani and also slightly smoother. The classical fraternity will be able to relate to it immediately and I can see it being a hit with the jazz community too (there’s a lot of the Super Action 80 here). A very enjoyable instrument to play and had a fantastic response to everything I threw at it, especially in the altissimo register.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall I feel Selmer have done more than enough to compete and create a sax at the same price bracket as the Yamaha 62 and the Yanagisawa AW01.

Having already gained a certain degree of insight from the NAMM 2019 show, I knew that these instruments have been a long time in the making and as such I wanted to treat them with respect. In fact, I even had to sign a NDA at the time due to the fact that there was a particular feature on this sax that was so unique they couldn’t have me talk about it to anyone (whilst it was still being fully developed). Having now received our first batch into Sax.co in the past few days I have to say that Eastman have surpassed themselves in terms of delivering on the promises on which they originally set out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe level of detail that has been attended to is second-to-none. EVERY single technical and ergonomic aspect of saxophone key design and mechanism and has been reconsidered and brought together in the most exciting way imaginable. There are so many innovations that it’s hard to know where to start, in terms of your appreciation for what Eastman have done. I think it’s great thinking on Eastman’s part to ‘think outside the box’ and enlist the experience of their expert flute designer from the Haynes factory. Sometimes we become too engrossed in our own world and don’t realise that there are innovations going on in other areas that could be of massive benefit to the conquest of furthering the design of the saxophone. The combination of all the technical innovations that Eastman have brought us has delivered, in my opinion, a saxophone that has a key action like no other. Most of the time, with new saxes it takes a little while to adjust to the way things ‘feel’ and are set-out; there can often be heavier spots here and there, and often it can be a combination of making some spring tension adjustments and simply giving a new sax time to bed in. This one is different – it plays immediately, and everything is perfectly balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSound-wise the direction is more focussed and compact than the broader, more ‘old Conn’ feel of the 52nd St. I can see how it might appeal to classical players, with a feeling of more precision in the sound – especially given there is a choice of 2 necks to really hone in the ideal sound – but for me it sits really well in the jazz sphere too, playing with a well-defined core tone. On balance it doesn’t have the same bright overtones as the 52nd model, but it has instead a slightly silkier and more response-driven sound, articulating really cleanly, and with absolutely perfect intonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor sure the alto and tenor Rue St George 850 models have set a new standard in saxophone design. \u003cb\u003eJim Cheek\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastman Musical Instruments Europe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36344447336612,"sku":"ETS850","price":3299.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0301\/6081\/4139\/files\/eastman-rue-saint-george-ets850-tenor-saxophone-982568.jpg?v=1714168130"},{"product_id":"trevor-james-microfibre-polishing-cloth","title":"Trevor James Microfibre Polishing Cloth","description":"\u003cspan\u003eThe TJ microfibre polishing cloth is a quality soft cloth designed for giving your beloved silver, gold, or lacquered instrument after playing.
