For sale is a Brand New P. Mauriat System 76 Professional Alto Saxophone (Model PMXA-76DK). Finished in the stunning Dark Vintage Lacquer, this instrument is widely celebrated for capturing the focused, centered core of the legendary French saxophones of the 1950s. Unlike the "Influence" model (which features rolled tone holes for a spread sound), the System 76 uses traditional drawn tone holes and a refined bore taper to deliver a punchy, precise, and incredibly resonant tone.
This is the ideal choice for the professional jazz soloist, lead alto player, or serious enthusiast who wants the ergonomic comfort of a modern horn but the resistance and "grain" of a vintage Selmer Mark VI or SBA. It is perfect for players who need a sound that projects with laser-like focus rather than a wide spread.
The System 76: Vintage Personified
The System 76 is designed to be the ultimate "player's horn," focusing on response and core tone.
- Dark Vintage Lacquer: The dark lacquer is not just for looks; it is slightly thicker/harder than standard gold lacquer, which often helps to "tame" the high frequencies, resulting in a warmer, darker, and more complex sound.
- Super VI Neck: Ships with the P. Mauriat Super VI Neck, which features a wide taper for a free-blowing feel that allows the player to push the airstream without the horn backing up.
- Expanded Bore: Features an enlarged bore and bell flare compared to standard student models, creating a massive sound with rich overtones.
- Traditional Tone Holes: Unlike the 67R series, the System 76 features drawn straight tone holes. This provides a quicker, more focused response and more traditional intonation feedback that vintage Selmer players will feel right at home with.
- Premium Touch: Finished with beautiful Genuine Abalone key touches that feel natural and grippy under the fingers.
