Description

Eastman ETS652 52nd Street Professional Tenor Saxophone. The Soul of the Past, Engineered for the Future. The Eastman ETS652 "52nd Street" Tenor Saxophone is a professional-grade instrument that bridges the gap between the legendary sound of vintage American horns and the precision of 21st-century manufacturing. Named after the historic heart of the New York jazz scene, this saxophone is designed to deliver a massive, harmonically rich tone with the effortless playability required by modern performers.
Whether you are performing in a smoky jazz club, a concert hall, or a recording studio, the ETS652 offers a distinct sonic personality that stands out from the crowd.

Key Features
  • Hand-Engraved, Aged Unlacquered Finish: The ETS652 features a unique unlacquered brass finish that has been aged to provide a stunning vintage patina. Because there is no lacquer to dampen the vibrations, the brass is free to resonate fully, producing a raw, powerful, and complex sound that only gets better with time.
  • Rolled-Style Tone Holes: Utilizing a specialized process to create rolled edges, these tone holes provide a larger contact surface for the pads. This results in a superior seal, a more immediate response across all registers, and a "fat" tonal core reminiscent of the great vintage saxophones of the 1940s.
  • The "M" Series Neck: Each ETS652 comes equipped with an Eastman "M" neck. Featuring a larger bore taper, this neck offers less resistance and a more open, free-blowing feel, allowing for incredible dynamic range and expressive control.
  • Hand-Hammered Oversized Bell: The oversized, hand-hammered bell is designed for maximum projection. It focuses the horn’s energy, delivering punchy low notes and a brilliant, soaring high register.
  • Professional Ergonomics: Despite its vintage heart, the ETS652 features modern, high-precision keywork. With blued steel springs and an adjustable thumb rest, the action is fast, fluid, and comfortable for extended playing sessions.
  • Premium Italian Leather Pads: Fitted with high-quality Italian leather pads and metal resonators, this saxophone ensures a crisp attack and a bright, assertive projection.
