I love the vintage amber finish. It looks gorgeous, and it shows off the amazing engraving more.

Nice review, Nigel. You get a gorgeous warm tone on that horn! I would definitely like to try one myself…..but I’m on the other side of the Atlantic. (Haha) so I will wait until til they come my way. But definitely on my radar!

Vintage Amber. A very good bargain for that price.

I love the amber lacquer but Nigel could make it sound good even if they coated it with bubble wrap!

Nice review, perhaps compare it to Trevor James the Raw tenors

@McGillMusicSaxSchool Ай бұрын

Great idea.

@pimeye Ай бұрын

Great review and now I'm really thinking of getting one. A couple of things, do both the horns feel the same weight or is one finish heavier than the other? Also, did I see that some scratches had already appeared on the side of the case with the grab handles, or were those artefacts?

@McGillMusicSaxSchool Ай бұрын

Glad you enjoyed the video. Both Saxes feel the same weight. Also the cases have the plastic wrapping still on them which is what I think you can see (not scratches). Thanks for watching. 👍🎷

@keithcampbell6806 Ай бұрын

Good afternoon nice looking and sounding horn. Could you please tell me if they have adjustment screws on the right and left hand stacks. Thanks in advance. I once read Sirvalor Said saying he would never buy a sax without the high F sharp key. I usually add also the adjustment screws to that phrase.

@McGillMusicSaxSchool Ай бұрын

Great question. I’d suggest reaching out to the guys at sax.co London to check. Thanks for watching.

@Jay-vn2cq Ай бұрын

How does it go up against the big bell? Im in 2 minds as i am a firm believer in. If it looks so good, you can't walk past it without blowing it, then it's the right horn for you. I love the amber finish, also the ruby red finish of the stone series.

@McGillMusicSaxSchool Ай бұрын

Good question. I’d be interested to hear a comparison 👍

@fodemhousegaming Ай бұрын

Love the case but what I need to know is how does it compares to a Cannonball A4 ? Have the money to buy but I just can’t decide between the 2

@McGillMusicSaxSchool Ай бұрын

Great question - I haven’t played the Cannonball in a while. Another excellent sax though.

I'm undecided between getting the Atlantic or the Signature Custom RAW. Is the RAW much heavier than a MkVI?

@gib321 Ай бұрын

@@pimeye I'm not sure of the weight of a MKVI however the SC Raw weighs 3.6 kgs. which I believe is quite a heavy instrument if that is a consideration.

Is heavy?

@Cacosaxo Ай бұрын

Weight?

@LuanneFose Ай бұрын

The intonation in the upper registers is really bad! I'm surprised you didn't notice that. Obviously, if you had more time playing it you could probably improve it with your embouchure but a lot of beginner sax players don't know how to do that.

@pimeye Ай бұрын

It seemed less obvious on the amber lacquer horn.

@benhostetler268 Ай бұрын

The Amber Lacquer is the best looking. I’m disappointed with this horn though the keywork is the standard SA80II keywork that is part of the base package at these Taiwanese factories. The body is another big bell like Cannonball, Eastman, and P Mauriat. I was really hoping for a more original offering beyond just a cool engraving and wire key guards.

@McGillMusicSaxSchool Ай бұрын

Personally I think it plays better than some of the Mauriat horns and the setup on the ones I had was excellent. Have a play of one if you get the chance.

@AtlanticSaxophones Ай бұрын

Hi Ben, Thank you for your feedback! We explored various key concepts during the prototype phase, but most players preferred the classic Selmer Paris design. Therefore, we focused on refining the setup to surpass other Taiwanese models. We also experimented extensively with different necks, bells, and bores to achieve the desired sound. I hope you get a chance to try one out! All the best 🎷
