Description from LeBlanc:
“The Leblanc LAS711 professional alto saxophone marks the next generation of saxophones designed after the professional line of French saxophones. The LAS711 saxophone has rich, mature tonal complexity and features post to rib to body construction from premium yellow brass.
The F vibration dampening bar and C# correction mechanism, combined with a hand-adjusted neck, Pisoni Pro pads, and a one-piece, hand-hammered bell, set the LAS711 apart as a true leader in its class. Meticulous hand craftsmanship of the Leblanc 711 alto includes a proprietary 3-phase tone hole leveling process for precisely level tone holes for long-lasting pad seating and stability, balanced blue steel needle springs to create a light and fast key action fitting to the Leblanc brand, and tailored ergonomics to facilitate fast and demanding technical passages.
711 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.”
