Antigua's new Pro One tenor sax is a feature loaded horn.
Designed in collaboration with Peter Ponzol (professional player, mouthpiece &
instrument designer - previously worked with Keilwerth), the Pro One tenor gives
many popular features and combines them on one horn. We especially love the
combination of the G# lifting mechanism that ensures that your G# will never
stick (found on Keilwerth models)! They also have the connected B-C# roller
(like Yanagisawa) and an F-F# bridge. This horn has a noticeable heft to it that
helps it produce a wonderfully rich and dark tone not commonly found in this
price range.

Ponzol Neck Design
The heart and soul of the new Antigua Pro-One is the
Peter Ponzol neck design. This new neck is free-blowing, has lightning quick
response, precise intonation and great tone quality. Antigua Pro-One necks are
designed and built to meet the strict standards set forth by Peter Ponzol.
Hybrid Rolled Tone Holes
The Antigua Pro-One is revolutionary and unique as it is
the first hybrid rolled tone hole saxophone. The Pro-One has rolled tone holes
for the bell keys and straight drawn tone holes in all other areas to balance
response and tone. The rolled tone holes provide a larger contact area for the
pads to seal and add needed strength where it matters most. This provides
faster, more nimble response from the low notes and a deep rich tone.
Trident™ Key Arms
Double key arms add strength to the low B, Bb and C keys.
The Pro-One design carries this feature 2 steps further with the revolutionary
Ponzol Trident adjustable arms. This new design, exclusive to the Antigua
Pro-One, improves radial rigidity and features 2 adjustment arms to set and
balance these critical keys. The difference this new design makes is truly
amazing.
Hybrid Bell Diameter
There is a lot of mystique and marketing speak
surrounding the bell diameter of the saxophone. This lead our design team,
headed by Peter Ponzol to seek to quantify the role of the saxophone bell,
remove the mystique and answer the question "what is the best bell size for
saxophones?" Our research led us to the optimum bell diameter and shape to
obtain the best balance, response and tone.
Ergonomic Keyboard
An extensive ergonomic study of the saxophone keyboard
was conducted by the Antigua Pro-One design team. The purpose of the study was
to refine the positions and placement of the keys, making the Pro-One work with
the player, making it easier to play fast and difficult passages and promote
better feel.
F to F# Bridge Key
We added a bridge arm to the F key of the Antigua Pro-One
to facilitate faster action and response in the right hand key section. The
Pro-One is designed to have the best feel and response.
| What does
our Professional Setup do for you the
customer? |
|
No horn comes into our shop from the
manufacturers in perfect adjustment. In
fact, the longer that the horns have sat
in a storage facility or on a shops
shelves, the more out of adjustment they
typically are. This is due to the felt
and leather in the pads loosing the
compression that forms the "pad seat"
causing leaks of air through the pads.
Our Professional Setup prior to
shipping is done to ensure that you
receive a sax that plays perfectly
right out of the box. This way you
get the superior performance of the
sax without having to have it
"setup" by some other technician. As
a professional shop, one of the
biggest requirements falls on the
repair abilities of the shop. Ours
is one of the best around!
We have some of the lowest prices in
the country on instruments, no other
shop can give you this price AND
this setup.
