Antigua Winds Model 25 PowerBell Alto Saxophone - Classic Unlacquered

Antigua Winds Model 25 PowerBell Alto Saxophone - Classic Unlacquered

In honor of Antigua's 25th anniversary, they created the Model 25.

It features the same body and enlarged bell as their popular PowerBell series. The soldered rings on the drawn tone holes offer similar advantages as rolled tone holes, but with a more consistent pad seat. This model is cryogenically treated. This treatment increases the strength of the brass, improve corrosion resistance, and reduce residual stress. 

The unlacquered brass develops a unique patina over time, making it one of the few horns that gets better with age. This model features their most intricate hand-engraving design.
