Mauriat System-76 Derek Brown BeatBox Sax features a number of custom modifications, some of which are designed to fortify the body, bell, and finish while letting you use the horn as a percussion instrument. Other mods — such as the triple-ring neck strap hook — are aimed at optimizing the ergonomics to accommodate the unusual multi-functional playing style Derek Brown has popularized. Arguably the most delightfully quirky add-on is the leg guard “vibraslap.” With the two included thumb rings, you can create percussive hits on the right-hand thumb hook and sax body, or create more complex rhythms by integrating body-scrape guirro accents. The BeatBox Sax is custom made for this with a shortened key guard around the alternate F# pad that allows more room for the thumb ring to strike the thumb hook in a number of ways to achieve different effects. These are but a few examples of the wildly creative playing techniques you can deploy on the P. Mauriat System-76 Derek Brown BeatBox Sax. The instrument incorporates over a dozen custom modifications that expedite the creation of unprecedented sounds on the instrument, including: Thumb ring and shorter thumb hook Shortened alternate F# key guard Additional base bracing Low B/Bb guard cover Reshaped low Bb key Additional bell bracing Triple-ring neck strap hook Alternate F# rod ribbing Altissimo F# key right hand modification Left-hand Key for altissimo F# Leg guard “vibraslap” Super VI neck: free-blowing design with wide bore taper Not simply a trick sax, the Derek Brown signature tenor is a world-class professional horn. It all starts with the excellent Super VI neck. Experienced sax players know that neck design is critical to a saxophone’s playability and expressiveness. Together with well-developed wind control and embouchure (and the right mouthpiece/reed setup), a good neck design serves to shape, focus, and project the sound, as well as provide a defined landing zone for intonation. For all these reasons and more, P. Mauriat’s Super VI neck is a favorite among experienced and professional saxophonists. The Super VI’s wider bore taper delivers a big, broad, bright tone and a responsive feel. With its free-blowing design, the Super VI gives you total control over the dynamics and timbral variation of your horn. Growling, raspy, breathy, or sweet — the Super VI neck allows you to explore the full voice of your instrument, and you can push it as hard as you want with the confidence you’ll be rewarded with a commanding sound.Instruments that exude timeless character The premium metals used in P. Mauriat saxes are remarkably resonant due to the company’s arduous hand-hammering process, in which a saxophone body is hammered up to 400 times before moving on to the next artisan for final shaping. Tone holes are drawn from an instrument individually to ensure the precision and uniformity necessary for superior response and intonation. At P. Mauriat, lacquer is applied in three separate layers in order to achieve timeless, vintage visuals that will stand the test of time. Beautiful hand engraving is artfully performed with a simple hand tool and years of expertise. Once finished, each P. Mauriat saxophone is meticulously inspected and tested by one of the company’s roster of quality-control artists to make certain you receive a perfect instrument that will go the distance in your career.Handcrafted vintage-inspired modern saxophones An industry leader in vintage-inspired modern saxophones, P.
