Santee Saxophones
is a small, new, proudly Christian company
that specializes in customized high-end professional saxophones, designed to fit the
demanding needs
of today's professional contemporary saxophonists.
Saxophonist
Aaron
Santee has been searching for years for a specific tonal
character; one that is crisp and very resonant, as well as
full, and robust sounding, with a tonal complexity that is
rich in harmonics and overtones.
Aaron couldn't
find a horn
(new or vintage) that
could produce this combination. Having previous
saxophone design experience
(with an major
Taiwanese saxophone manufacturer in 2002),
he decided, in late 2005, to design a line of saxophones that
could produce the tonal characteristics and overall feel that
he had been looking for.
Professional Tenor and Alto
models that produced a complex sound,
rich in harmonics and overtones.
A
true contemporary player's horn, bright and resonant
when pushed - but at the same time retaining a rich,
full, and robust sound.
Also,
exclusive design features such as
custom inlaywork;
keywork contouring
done for added playing comfort;
a newpad waterproofing material used that
not only extends pad life, but also
increases sound reflection;
and
much
more! (please visit the
design features section).
And every new
Santee Saxophone includes a professional "set-up" by a dealer (which
involves regulation of key height, spring tension
lightening/regulating, and making sure all pads are seated
perfectly).
When a music store near you begins to carry Santee
Saxophones, please take some time to
critically compare
the Santee "M27 Pro-Fusion" to the store's other
professional saxophones. You'll notice that no
other saxophone
(at
any
price range)
gives you the same balance, response, and tonal
character as the Santee M27
Pro-Fusion!
