The P. Mauriat Professional Bass Saxophone is a must have for any military band, professional woodwind doubler, collegiate saxophone arsenal, or ensemble looking for serious low reed presence. With fully ribbed professional construction, mother of pearl key touches, and heavy duty bracing throughout, this instrument is designed to withstand a lifetime of service. Players will appreciate the ergonomic placement of the left and right-hand pinky tables, deep pinky key scoops, easy-access side keys, and overall ‘smaller hand feel’ that facilitate easier key manipulation.

The success of V•12 reeds in the clarinet world for 25 years has led us to transpose their characteristics and advantages into the saxophone world. With its very precise attack, homogeneous timbre in every register, controlled high notes, warm and velvety sound, this new reed offers exceptional possibilities.

This reed is designed to produce a quality of extremely pure sound due to: • A very thin reed tip (the area of reed with maximum vibration). • A solid vertebral column (more cane in the area which climbs gradually to the heel).

Featuring a filed cut for additional tonal clarity, Royal by D'Addario Tenor Saxophone reeds are ideal for both beginning and advancing players. These reeds have a traditional blank and profile to give you an ease of response when playing
