Description from LeBlanc:
“The Leblanc LAS511 intermediate alto saxophone is one of the top-performing saxophones in the world, available at a great price point, and designed after the professional line of French saxophones. The LAS511 saxophone has incredible tonal complexity and features a post to rib to body construction from premium yellow brass. This, combined with a hand-adjusted neck, Pisoni Pro pads, and a one-piece, hand-hammered bell create a tone that is best in class and asound that outperforms its competitors.
Several upgrades went into the development of this new intermediate alto saxophone, including a proprietary 3-phase tone hole leveling process which guarantees precisely level tone holes for long-lasting pad seating and stability. Blue steel needle springs create a light and fast key action fitting to the Leblanc brand, and superior ergonomics provide everything needed for fast and demanding technical passages.
511 series saxophones are adorned with gorgeous hand engraving and include a premium, protective case with backpack straps and storage areas. Every Leblanc saxophone is professionally set up, play-tested, and adjusted to ensure each saxophone is received in optimal playing condition to help the saxophonist continue confidently in their musical journey.”
