FORESTONE NECKS

 

The neck is a crucial element of the saxophone for tone production and plays a great role in the overall response of the instrument. 

Forestone takes the best known designs of vintage saxophone necks and refines them to produce three premium series of saxophone necks for both Alto and Tenor. 

 

Vintage

The Vintage Neck is based on the best vintage saxophone designs and is for all players who search for a special character and strong sound. Projection, edge, with a compact and direct sound perfect for jazz and pop context.

Classic

Designed for the needs of professional classical players, the Classic Neck offers perfect intonation with elegant sound.

Both models are enhanced with the patented FVCT Cryogenic treatment that improves responsiveness.
The Vintage and Classic models are available for Alto and Tenor saxophones in the below finishes:

  • 24k Pink gold plate - Filigree floral design engraving, Warm rich full tone while maintaining responsiveness  

  • 24k yellow gold plate - Filigree floral design engraving, bright full tone

  • Gold lacquer - Full versatile sound

  • Unlacquered - bright punch and responsive.

  • Red brass (lacquered) - Warm full tone

  • Unlacquered red brass - warm tone with a bit of edge 

 

Carbon Fibre

 
 

Forestone introduces the world's first carbon fibre neck for tenor and alto saxophone, made especially for the Forestone saxophones. 

We have discovered the Forestone Carbon Neck enhances response and articulation due to the strength of the material and the freedom to erase any imperfection in the inner shape of the neck. 

The Forestone Carbon Fibre neck really sings. This is the freest blowing neck you will ever play with almost no resistance at all. This enhances response and articulation. It is immediately possible to hear a huge improvement in the altissimo register of the horn and a lush quality of sound in the low to mid overtone series.

The necks come with two screw on tenons that will suit most saxophones. Having a screw on tenon also allows for a custom tenon to be fabricated if you saxophone requires it. 

Tenon Diametre 
Alto: 24,45 mm and 24,50 mm
Tenor: 27,45 mm and 27,50 mm
