We are extremely excited and proud to release the JL Woodwinds - David Liebman Model Artist Edition Soprano Saxophones. These sopranos are the culmination of seven years of experimentation and discovery of what makes a saxophone play, perform, and respond as flawlessly as possible while also incorporating and implementing the direct feedback and suggestions directly from true Jazz Legend and Master Saxophonist David Liebman. 

The JL Woodwinds - David Liebman Model Artist Edition Soprano Saxophone is our collaborative attempt to produce a modern soprano that plays sounds and feels like our favorite vintage saxophones of the past. Since we first began working on our line of saxophones we wanted to create a competitively priced, ergonomic, modern saxophone with the sound, essence, and “vibe” of our favorite vintage Selmer horns. Inspired from the best playing early 5 Digit Mark VI Sopranos that have come through our shop over the years, the parts for our saxophones are produced to our very specific specifications for our shop in the highest quality saxophone factories overseas and then imported. All parts are made with the highest quality S Brass “silver brass” which is a regular brass with a 3% silver in the alloy. The parts are extremely high quality and durable with the silver adding a beautiful resonant zing to the tone. Once the parts arrive at our New York City based sax shop, each of our professional quality saxophones is hand assembled one by one with the utmost care and attention to the finest details. During this very time consuming process, many of the very finest details of the saxophone are perfected including hand finishing each tone hole so they are perfectly level and completely deburred of any sharp edges which over time could cut through the pad faces and cause leaks. All of the rods in the saxophone are checked for perfect straightness and run though the keywork one by one to check and correct any and all friction that is present. Because we are also professional saxophonists ourselves we know that friction is the enemy of a great playing and feeling saxophone. The keys are also precision fit between each post so that the keys have no unnecessary lateral or rotational play. This is extremely important if you want to have a saxophone that attains a perfect airtight seal. 15-20 hours of work and the highest quality materials available go into our setups and build process to ensure that our saxophones perform at a level that would impress even the most discerning professional saxophonists. We openly welcome all saxophone players that are searching for a top tier professional quality instrument at a fair price to give the David Liebman Model Artist Edition Soprano a try! We are confident that the tone, response, intonation, and of course quality of these great saxophones will amaze you. 

The JL Woodwinds - David Liebman Model Artist Edition Soprano saxophone has a Limited Edition Brushed Matte Brass Body Tube Finish which was personally selected by Dave for its distinct sonic characteristics which stood out as the most beautiful and resonant. It also is outfitted with Gorgeous Brushed Silver Plated Keys setup to David Leibman’s personal key height preferences and spring tensions for optimal resonance and response! It has beautiful 'Selmer inspired' floral engravings down the bell and bottom bow. Our saxophones are hand assembled and setup with top quality amber shellac installed Pisoni Pro Pads!
