The neck of your saxophone has a huge influence on sound and playability. daCarbo saxophone necks are remarkably easy to play in the highest and lowest registers at supreme sound quality. This neck balances out the flow of the sound of the instrument. It allows excellent articulation and direct control. The sound of the saxophone opens up, allowing a better projection. This neck allows musicians to create more freely due to the optimized vibrations.
All advantages at a glance
Using less energy to handle your instrument means that you have more left over for making music; you can play for longer and be certain of hitting your high notes.
daCarbo instruments produce a warm, rounded tone across the entire range. They allow excellent articulation and can be played very easily indeed, using little energy. Unlike in light instruments of conventional brass, however, the tone does not fade away in the upper registers and the sound can be controlled effortlessly. daCarbo trumpets can play one whole tone higher without extra effort on your part, allowing better performance and endurance in concerts.
The carbon material feels pleasantly warm to the touch, because unlike brass it has very low heat conductivity and does not take heat from your hand. The air column in the instrument behaves in similar fashion, remaining almost at breath temperature regardless of the ambient temperature where you play and regardless of the instrument’s temperature. This reduces the need to re-tune after you have been playing for a while, and also reduces condensation build-up inside the instrument.
By making wind instruments from carbon fiber compounds, it becomes possible to suppress those vibrations in the tube that simply waste energy. We can stiffen the bore walls in selected spots and in certain directions, or even make them comparatively softer – an enormous gain in freedom compared to the possibilities of traditional materials. It also becomes feasible to make certain parts of the instrument more rigid without increasing mass or weight.
Instrument-makers, engineers, acoustic designers and musicians have worked together intensively to develop instruments which are remarkably easy to play yet produce a warm and rounded tone.
