Description
This SWO20 bronze model is an instrument for the accomplished player. It delivers a superb tonal range with an unmistakably darker edge thanks to the fine bronze body, and it also benefits from the WO series re-engineered bore and toneholes, and re-sourced and redesigned core brass material. This model also has many upgraded features exclusive to the WO series such as newly designed Front F Keys, Ride Side Keys, and Right Pinky Key.

Reviews
"Ignoring the sterling silver options for a moment, this is the top model in the new SWO range and it delivers on all fronts. The combination of the bronze material, the newly engineered bore and tone-holes, and the metal pad reflectors all come together to give the most incredible results; it’s highly responsive at all dynamic levels, and the tone can be sweet, focused and introverted at lower air velocities, while open and expansive when pushed, and everything in-between. Very satisfying to play indeed. I’d find it hard to believe that any serious soprano player would dismiss this sax once tried!" - Jim Cheek - SAX
