Hanson Series VIII Alto Saxophone Hand Rubbed Raw Brass

Featuring an all new and improved thin wall design which is incredibly resonant.

Our research and testing of a new thinner wall for tube for saxophones has resulted in what we feel and players tell us is the best feeling and most resonant saxophone range ever made. We have conducted ‘blind testing’ side by side with favourites such as the renowned Yamaha 62, Yanagisawa WO1 and 992 and the Hanson VIII came out as favourite with almost all the players.

Keywork for the new Series VIII benefits from our self adjusting point screw mechanism which gives a faster, smoother and lighter feel to the key action.

Completing the new model is a choice of beautiful finished to the body and keys. A distinctive deep gold lacquer which shows off our delicate and tasteful hand engraving or the increasingly popular raw brass/raw bronze which is hand rubbed and then protected with microcrystaline wax.
