I have been playing sax, clarinet, and flute since 1951.
I have been repairing instruments since 1978.
My last major concert was for a host of pretty impressive guests, including former President Bill Clinton, when he was in Boston with Senator John Kerry for a fund-raising event for Senator Ted Kennedy. I played in the 22-piece John Payne Saxophone Choir at the Park Plaza Castle. Security was so tight, the Secret Service did background checks on each musician and they had to leave their instruments at the door to be searched by White House staff..When I played this sax I was very impressed.
this sax has an "UNDER SLUNG OCTAVE KEY"
THE UNDER SLUNG OCTAVE KEY IS ALSO USED ON THE
YANAGISAWA
A991 ALTO SAX
WHICH HAS A LIST PRICE OF $4,530.00
THE BENEFIT OF THE UNDER SLUNG OCTAVE KEY IS THAT
IT PUTS MORE WEIGHT ON THE TONE HOLE WHICH RESULTS IN A
MORE PRESSURE KEEPING IT CLOSED
SO THAT ALL THE NOTES ARE EASIER TO PLAY
AND THEY SOUND MORE RESONANT WITH
MUCH MORE BRILLIANCE

Dc pro is my own brand that I designed myself and had made for me, with my specs..
I learned flute making while working for William S. Haynes flute company in Boston.
They make flutes that start at $8,500.00
My job was to solder the tone holes on these flutes...
Which was a very critical job and had to be perfect to assure perfect intonation.
I was very fortunate to have first hand experience in flute making while working there.
So I decided to make my own flutes, saxophones, clarinets, trumpets,
french horns and trombones.
