52nd STREET FEATURES

Adjustable Palm Key Heights Rolled-Style Tone Holes

Large Bell 52nd Street Scene Engraving

Beginning in the early 1930s and continuing through the following decade, New York’s 52nd Street played host to some of the most famous and inuential jazz artists in history. Legends like Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, Coleman Hawkins, Dizzy Gillespie, and Miles Davis appeared nightly at the bustling clubs that lined “The Street.” These historical venues included The Onyx, The Three Deuces, The Yacht Club, The Spotlight, and Jimmy Ryan’s just to name a few.

The Eastman 52nd Street model saxophone is designed to pay homage to this era and the innovations that came from the the collaborations of the special mix of varied talent in such a concentrated space. With its vintage unlacquered nish, rolled-style tone holes and large bell, the warm and colorful tone this instrument produces is reminiscent of that of the nest handcrafted saxophones of the period, while at the same time utilizing the benets of modern key work and tone-hole placement for improved ergonomics and awless intonation. We’ve also included a unique portrait-style engraving in the spirit of the instruments from that very special time in history.

The 52nd Street SaxophoneThe 52nd Street saxophone is a professional instrument and comes un-lacquered for a truly vintage appearance. It is an exceptionally responsive horn in all registers from low to high, and produces a big, fat sound with precise intonation. A larger bell and rolled-style tone holes contribute to the sound qualities of this instrument that many compare to some of the great vintage horns of the past. Solid construction with comfortable hand position and extras such as adjustable palm keys heights.
