P Mauriat PMXA-67R GL Alto Saxophone - Gold Lacquer

Perfect for players wanting a warm, fat jazz sound.

Designed for those who prefer their tone a little more "vintage," without the comfort, tuning and reliability problems often associated with older saxes. It features drawn & rolled tone holes allowing better resonance and an enlarged bell to compliment an already warm, fat sound.

Description

This is the alto that elevated P.Mauriat to sit alongside the World's best. Described in reviews as the closest to the legendary Selmer Mk6 - praise indeed! This Custom Class "Vintage Series" alto features a gold lacquer finish (GL), rolled tone holes, beautiful abalone shell key touches and high F# key. The larger bell further encourages a full bodied and warm tone.

It is rare to find rolled tone holes on a modern sax and these give a noticeably quieter key action and extended pad life.

This is a sax with a huge, flexible voice and is a joy to play - warm and rich but, when pushed, it can deliver an enormous amount of power.

Review

I was looking for an alto with a lot of personality and attitude and I have found those qualities in the 67R. Hats off to P Mauriat for making such an incredible saxophone. Darren Rahn

My P Mauriat PMXA 67R is a real pleasure to play. My sound has opened up since I started playing it and I can hear a richness, fullness and depth that with practise I can get from this superbly made instrument. Nathaniel Facey

My PMXA 67R is a true work of art and a joy to play. It is easily the best alto that I have played in my 35-year-plus musical career. Whether it is playing behind the Four Tops and Temptations, or blending with an orchestra, the PMXA 67R has proven to be reliable and a joy on which to perform. Farrell Vernon
