I am so jazzed about this new instrument. Here is a picture Benedikt sent today of the difference between his standard finish on the standard model to low Bb and my custom instrument. As most of you know, I’ve specified a different lacquer color, custom engraving, and mechanism to low A. (Click on picture to enlarge.)

Note the longer bell on my instrument to accommodate the low A requirement. This instrument will match the color of my alto, tenor, and to lessor degree bari sax. The excitement builds and I definitely will want to host a bass sax party for my musician friends. :o)
