The BetterSax Classic saxophone is the ideal choice for beginners and musicians returning to the saxophone after a long break. Classic saxophones boast the features needed to develop and refine a player’s skill, including lightweight post-to-body construction, a high F# key, and an adjustable thumb rest. They also include pro-level design cues, such as the bore taper, neck design, blue steel springs, and Pisoni pads with metal resonators. These features all add up to create a free-blowing saxophone that’s easy to hold and comfortable to play. Classic saxophones deliver a rich and sophisticated sound fit for almost any piece of music. Finally, every BetterSax instrument is play tested by certified technicians before being shipped to Sweetwater to ensure you get the best possible saxophone right out of the case.
BetterSax worked closely with JodyJazz to design the Burnin’ series of mouthpieces. They’re designed for a free-blowing feel and shimmering tones. The mouthpieces feature a large internal chamber and a steep rollover baffle that deliver the perfect balance of warmth, depth, power, and brightness. And like every other mouthpiece built by JodyJazz, those found in the Burnin’ series are built according to the strictest quality-control measures. With a Burnin’ mouthpiece, you can make your music shine in any setting.
Years of work and collaboration have gone into developing BetterSax reeds. The company collaborated with MARCA, a French reed maker, to develop a proprietary reed design. Each reed is made from high-quality, organically sourced cane grown in the south of France. BetterSax’s Jazz Cut reeds offer smooth playability and a flexible tone that’s suitable for any playing situation. What’s more, BetterSax saxophone reeds come in cardboard sleeves instead of wasteful plastic reed holders.
Saxophone players know how frustrating it is to buy a new box of reeds and immediately throw half of them out. With the BetterSax Geeklet, that’s a thing of the past. This handy little tool helps you adjust your reeds, achieving better performance in a flash. With a few small tweaks, the Geeklet makes good reeds great, average reeds better, and bad reeds serviceable. There are a few simple ways to use the Geeklet, including flattening the table, balancing the wings, and shaping the heart. The Geeklet gives you control over your saxophone reeds and ensures you can use every reed in the box, saving you tons of money in the long run.
A good mouthpiece ensures students and beginners get a strong start. Unfortunately, the stock mouthpieces included with most saxophones just aren’t up to snuff. By upgrading to the BetterSax Classic mouthpiece, alto and tenor players get an easy-playing mouthpiece fit for beginners. Classic mouthpieces offer a warm sound that projects well when needed. What’s more, they perform admirably in concert band, marching band, and jazz band alike. Every BetterSax Classic mouthpiece is built and finished by hand in the United States and includes a protective BetterSax clear mouthpiece patch.
