If you’re on the prowl for an outstanding professional soprano sax, the Growling Sax Red Lava soprano deserves your serious consideration.A true player’s horn Growling Sax lavished painstaking attention on their robust key system to provide you with confident fingering, which you’ll particularly appreciate during fast, difficult passages. But whether you’re finessing an adagio line or firing off a flurry of notes, you’ll appreciate the fluid, synergistic response of this superb saxophone as your fingertips savor the luxurious feel of its elegant mother-of-pearl key touches. Saxophonists use different altissimo fingerings; however you access it, you’ll find that the Red Lava soprano slots the altissimo range effortlessly. And the same goes for subtones. The height-adjustable palm keys are a thoughtful feature, comfortably fitting the curvature of your hand. If you change your hand position as your technique advances, the Growling Sax Red Lava soprano is an instrument that will evolve along with you on your career trajectory. With its smoothly ergonomic keywork and responsive action powered by blued steel springs — the professional standard for durable, perfectly tensioned keywork — the Red Lava soprano is a true player’s horn.Packed with performance-enhancing features The Growling Sax Red Lava soprano has several unique, performance-enhancing features that will nurture your technique and advance your continuing development as an artist. The first thing you’ll notice is the extra-large bell, which assists in projecting the horn’s powerful sound. Also notable are its rolled tone holes, which provide a larger surface area for the pads to make contact with. Painstakingly crafted, the tone holes are individually drawn and rolled. This not only gives you longer pad life; many saxophonists feel it delivers a broader sound with faster response and increased projection, as compared with horns that have straight toneholes. The Red Lava soprano’s premium Italian Pisoni pads (another pro industry standard) provide a leak-free, airtight fit and are fitted with vintage-style metal resonators to deliver a big, bright, and assertive tone that brings your notes to life. As do all Uprise Series instruments, the Red Lava soprano is equipped with a custom mechanism that provides additional support to prevent the G# and low C# keys from sticking (a common issue with many saxophones). Other Red Lava features include full brass construction, double-braced low keys, and beautiful artisanal hand engraving.Growling Sax: a new breed of saxophone The saxophone has come a long way since its invention in the 1840s.
