Jazz Soloist Marble

Like the Sepia Tone VI, the Jazz Soloist has been enhanced with the Marble model; however, it is only adapted for Alto, Tenor and Baritone saxophone. The Soloist Marble is the same shape as the standard Jazz Soloist, but it is made from marbled ebonite and fitted with a 24K Gold-plated Brass shank ring. The beak on the Marble is also made slightly thinner than on the standard model in order to complement the unique resonance of the marbled ebonite. The Jazz Soloist Marble has a round and soft tone and is more powerful than the standard Jazz Soloist.

Both the Jazz Soloist and Sepia Tone VI Marble were unexpectedly popular models at the NAMM Show 2020, so I decided to create a mixture of the two models. I created a Jazz Soloist Marble for the 7th anniversary of Gottsu corporation in 2018. The 7th Anniversary Jazz Soloist Marble is a limited model that does not have a gold-plated ring, unlike this new Jazz Soloist Marble. Because of the ring, this new model produces a more powerful sound.
