Description
All models in the Odyssey range of high quality brass band and orchestral instruments have been meticulously designed down to the finest details by Peter Pollard. It’s hardly surprising that, with over 50 years experience and having listened to the ‘wants’ of countless high profile musicians, this master craftsman is one of the most sought after custom brass and woodwind builders in the world.
At Odyssey, we recognise the significant contribution that an instrument makes to the willingness of a student to persevere, practice, pursue the process of learning to control and master the instrument, enjoy making music and progress. With this in mind all our Saxophone family have been tested in France at BG, and fitted with the best BG Ligatures possible for each instrument.
With a luscious polished brass lacquered body, offset with clear lacquered parts, the aesthetics of the Straight ‘Bb’ Soprano Saxophone from the Odyssey Premiere Series speak for themselves. This instrument has been designed with affordability, durability and comfort in mind. The body is fully braced for strength helping it stand up to the demands of regular play and transport to and from lessons. The adjustable thumb rest, bell joint, neck and stack adjusting screws can be used to make the set-up more comfortable. The saxophone’s brass body is finished with a protective lacquer.
Blue steel springs provide a robust and durable action and give a brightness and snap to the instrument’s sound whilst domed reflectors aid projection. This Sax has a light, free blowing response that will reward new players with excellent intonation and a stability and evenness throughout the registers. Precision drawn tone holes allow maximum air passage through the instrument. An auxiliary high F# key provides extra versatility. These features make it easy for students to start seeing results fast.
As a company producing some of the world’s finest brasswind instruments, Odyssey recognise the fact that protection whilst travelling with a delicate instrument is paramount. To ensure players can maintain a high standard with this instrument, Odyssey has included gloves, cleaning cloth, cork grease and neck sling. A plush lined, Zero-gravity ‘backpack’ hard foam, canvas covered case with shoulder straps takes all the worry out of commuting with such a delicate instrument.
