  • Superior Tone & Projection: The Session offers a bigger, richer sound from the first note. Its redesigned neckwith an improved bore, tone ring, tapered tenon, and tone-enhancement platedelivers fast response, increased resonance, and excellent intonation across all registers. The new bore and tone hole system enhance projection and flexibility. Designed in the French tradition, the Session produces a warm, focused tone ideal for any venue.
  • Advanced Design: The Session introduces an advanced mini-ribbed construction that preserves its lively response yet adds structural stability and greater tonal richness. A brass rim wire reinforces the bell, increases projection, and ensures the horns full tonal spectrum carries clearly to the back of the room or hall.
  • Performance-Driven Ergonomic Design: Every component of the Session was engineered around the needs of the player. Genuine mother-of-pearl key touches and blue steel springs deliver a comfortable feel and a fast and light key action, while Pisoni Pro pads with metal resonators add both longevity and more projection to the sound.
  • Distinctive Finishes & Handcrafted Detailing: Available in three striking options Matte Black, Matte Dark Gold, and Copper-Bronze the Session stands out visually as much as it does sonically. Every horn is adorned with intricate hand engraving designed in-house by BetterSax for a custom, artisan look.

    • Great, Versatile Horn
The Player: To get credentials out of the way: I have played saxophone for many years and have a performance degree. I love practicing and performing and have owned a number of instruments from different makers. I purchased this instrument out of enthusiastic curiosity after hearing saxophonist Jay Metcalf speak about it. Having spent a little time with it, I am absolutely delighted. The Case: The case is very thoughtfully designed. It has a large, expandable external pocket, backpack straps, and a surprise pocket with a rain cover in it. There’s a decent amount of space within the case for extra accessories as well. Overall, it feels well made, looks professional, and appears to protect the horn effectively. The Instrument: I chose the copper bronze finish which certainly does not disappoint. It is truly beautiful. The keywork placement is very subtly different from what I’m accustomed to, but I actually find it to be a bit more comfortable for my hands than my Selmer Series II. The table, in particular, is exceptionally smooth for me to navigate. The palm keys feel great as well. Ergonomics on this instrument were clearly approached with great thought and care. The Sound & Response: This horn has a beautiful, expressive voice. With my Selmer C* mouthpiece, it’s easy to produce a warm, colorful, resonant sound. The response is excellent and dynamic shifts require very little effort. With my Theo Wanne Lakshmi mouthpiece, it can purr, roar, or blow the walls down. My Meyer 6M also pairs wonderfully, allowing me to achieve the ‘mellow foo-foo’ sound I enjoy so much. (Think Stan Getz.) The included mouthpiece is completely serviceable - and it’s generous of them to include it at this price point - but it’s too direct for me personally. (Even my metal Lakshmi has more warmth.) The Burnin’ mouthpiece is very stable, though, which I always appreciate in a mouthpiece with distinct ’bite’ and projection. The Intonation: I find this instrument to be easy to play in tune. My other alto is significantly older and I know all the tricks needed to play in unison with other instrumentalists. Those tricks don’t appear to be necessary with this. The C#, for example, is really nice; no covering or other manipulation required. (Further testing is required, though.) The Value: This is a rather unbelievable value for money. I would expect to pay a minimum of $4500 for a horn like this. It’s a professional-level instrument with fantastic build quality and possesses the flexibility required to play whatever style of music you’d like to play. I wholeheartedly recommend it. Happy music making! ... show more
