Description
The 2018 MANTRA 2 is completely updated from head to toe. It is a much lighter horn and has more body to the sound than the original MANTRA. It comes with a special titanium alloy neck with innovative taper that creates easier altissimo and improved intonation. It also comes Music Medic kangaroo pads.
The bell-to-body brace has three fully captured points of contact with the body. It is far stronger than a traditional brace while allowing for previously unheard of freedom. It also replaces the pants guard. The low C and B/Bb key-guard felts are in-line with the key arms. The key cups do not twist like on other saxophones, or dampen vibration by having extra arms soldered to the key cup. Proprietary three ring neck strap hook. To let the horn hang in the most comfortable manner for your playing style.
Sound
This is a BIG sounding horn. Can sound like a vintage Selmer, but will take more and more as you blow harder too. It's perfect for all types of music you wish to show expression in.
