Kessler Custom Standard Series Intermediate Tenor Sax – Gold Lacquer

Kessler Custom Standard Series Tenor Sax
Unbeatable Intermediate Tenor Sax!

Standard Series Intermediate Tenor Sax Features
Our “Standard Series” Intermediate Tenor Sax features the same advanced bore design and wonderfully strong brass that we use on our professional models. They all feature fully ribbed body construction for a richer, more complex tone. Depending on the finish, either Mother of Pearl or Abalone finger touches are standard on our Intermediate tenor sax as well as our upgraded case and several professional mouthpiece options. These saxophones posses a great focused and rich tone with great response and intonation! No other intermediate tenor sax on the market can compete with the combination of performance and value offered by our Standard Series saxophones!

Why buy a Kessler Custom Intermediate Tenor Sax?
Our Kessler Custom saxophones are the epitome of our philosophy of offering musicians with the highest quality gear at a more affordable price. By dealing directly with our factory rather than dealing with distributors, we are able to keep strict control over the quality of our saxophones and their design, as well as eliminate the typical middle-man markup that is associated with many saxophones on the market today. We sell our Intermediate alto sax directly to customers so that they are getting the best value.

Every Kessler Custom saxophone goes through our Official Selmer Paris Pro Shop prior to being delivered to the customer to guarantee perfect playability and includes a 1 year warranty covering defects in workmanship & materials as well as pads & adjustments!

Free Rico H-Ligature Upgrade!
Standard Series tenor sax models also include a Rico H-Ligature in gold plate at no extra charge. These ligatures have a retail value of over $60 but we include for Free with Standard Series tenor saxophones! Ligature can make a great impact on tonal resonance and response as well as on reed life. The H-Ligature is an excellent option and especially when it is free, that’s a deal that can’t be beat!

Other Finishes
Our Standard Series Intermediate Tenor Sax is available in 3 finishes as well as a “Deluxe Series” version that features elaborate hand engraving. These models are all built to the same quality, design and features. The only difference is cosmetic. Does the finish impact the saxophone’s performance? That’s a loaded question and really depends on who you ask… but if you want Dave Kessler’s opinion on the topic, go read his blog post about it by clicking here.

Professional Setup
Every horn we send out to a customer is not released from us unless it has been completely setup in our shop first. This is because the setup on the horn is of the utmost importance! Sometimes, a saxophone (regardless of who the manufacturer or the price point is) comes in needing 20 minutes of adjustments and then the very next one can require 2 hours! So if you were to get 5 of the same model right out of the box, they will all play different which leads people to believe that they are “good” or “bad” saxes… but the reality is that the one that was the best out of the 5 was likely the one that needed the least amount of work and on the flip side, the “bad” sax was the one that needed 2 hours worth of adjustments!

Once the same 5 saxophones are properly regulated and adjusted to perfection, they become near identical saxophones that even the pickiest of players would be challenged to pick a true “favorite” horn. However, since most stores do not or even can not perform this setup, the player never knows this and is simply relying on the luck of the draw. This is why we perform our setup (in our www.SaxophoneRepairs.com ProShop) on them before delivering your new sax to you. You trust us with your purchase and we want to make sure that you are rewarded by giving you your ideal saxophone setup flawlessly!
