RS Berkeley Virtuoso Professional Alto Saxophone - Gold Lacquer

This RS Berkely Virtuoso Alto Saxophone plays and feels like a vintage Selmer without the Selmer price tag. This horn sings and feels comfortable in the hands along with holding excellent intonation. This is one of the first "MKVI Copy" type horns that hit the market. Renowned players include Sherman Irby and Tom Scott, just to name a couple. You can find recordings of them using these horns on the RS Berkeley website.

This specific Virtuoso has lots of life left in the pads, shows no signs of dents, and no signs of soldering work. It's ready to play!

From the RS Berkeley Website: The saxophone has come a long way since its invention in 1846 and the craftsmanship of the Virtuoso Series builds upon the traditions of vintage saxophone artisans who pioneered its design. With input from such luminaries as Tim Ries (The Rolling Stones, Maria Schneider) and legendary jazz saxophonist, Michael Brecker, Virtuoso saxophones produce a rich, singing tone that has clarity, power and depth. Its full bodied sound has an authority that cuts while having the ability to express the most intimate ballad with ease. The ergonomically contoured balanced key action provides comfort and increased efficiency to the most demanding professionals, while offering a near seamless transition for vintage saxophone enthusiasts. Virtuoso saxophones are available in seven unique finishes and feature elegant engraving.
