Brand New Antigua Model 25 "PowerBell" Professional Tenor Saxophone - Satin / Vintage Finish (#VTS080040)
We have a genuinely impressive professional tenor on the bench today: the brand-new Antigua Model 25 "PowerBell" Tenor Saxophone (Model TS4348), carrying serial number VTS080040.
Antigua’s Model 25 series is built to compete directly with top-tier professional horns by combining old-world craftsmanship with cutting-edge acoustic engineering. The most striking element of this tenor is its gorgeous, non-reflective satin/vintage lacquer finish, which gives it an understated, organic look that feels incredible under stage lights. Beneath the finish, the yellow brass body undergoes a specialized cryogenic treatment—aligning the molecular structure of the brass to eliminate residual stress, enhance overall structural resonance, and open up the horn's natural overtones.
It also features Antigua's famous enlarged PowerBell flare for massive, room-filling volume, along with drawn tone holes outfitted with hand-soldered rings for a bulletproof, leak-free pad seat. Fully benched and shop-regulated by our master technicians, it arrives brand new with all factory accessories.
