For the first time the saxophone manufacturer DC Pro presents saxophones with a body made from solid brass. Individually produced to the highest specifications to enhance the positive benefits of this material: solid brass adapts to and conducts changing frequencies faster than other material solid brass guarantees an immediate response solid brass gives a well centred and extremely powerful sound Another important advantage is the reduced weight and the high stability The DC Pro saxophones are high precision, individually made instruments, creating a distinctive sound and style. Check out the engraving on the bell.   DC Pro, a name you can trust. Also included at no extra cost: A YAMAHA SAXOPHONE SWAB   All instruments are shop-tested and adjusted to play perfectly before shipment.
