The Super Dynaction: A Vintage Classic with Modern Ergonomics

Produced from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, the Super Dynaction (often called the SDA) was a professional horn that went head-to-head with the dominant models of its time. While it may not be as famous as some of its contemporaries, it is highly respected for its meticulous craftsmanship and a design philosophy that focused on superb ergonomics and a bold, authoritative voice.

What makes the Super Dynaction a sought-after horn:

  • Massive, Dark Sound: The Super Dynaction is renowned for its big, full-bodied sound that is rich in overtones and has a huge amount of projection. It is a horn with a beautiful, dark voice that is perfect for jazz, blues, and classical music.

  • Revolutionary Ergonomics: This horn features a key layout that was considered revolutionary for its time. Its ergonomic design is so good that it was carried over to the S1 and is still appreciated by players today. The keys feel natural and intuitive under the hands, allowing for effortless playability and fluid technique.

  • A Different Voice: The SDA offers a unique tonal alternative to other vintage horns. It is a horn that is full of character and personality, and it provides a different feel and sound that is perfect for a player who wants to stand out from the crowd.

This is a professional saxophone that is not just a piece of history; it's a fantastic playing instrument that can handle the rigors of modern performance.
