The hallmark of the System-76 Tenor Saxophone is the traditional bore taper, combined with a flared bell. This facilitates a focused, dark tonal palette reminiscent of vintage saxophones, yet with greater ease of playing. This instrument features deep right and left pinky scoops to minimize finger slippage, metal resonators to energize the sound, and is available in a variety of finishes. The System 76 Tenor unlacquered finish is available with no High-F# key for those discerning saxophonists who wish for an instrument that closely mirrors a vintage instrument, yet possesses modern playing conveniences.
