Using a hammering process, the neck, body, bow and bell are created from a special brass alloy with a higher copper content, which softens the metal for a richer, warmer sound.

Use of kid leather pads with plastic tone boosters projects the sound and adds flexibility. The Reference 54 includes the traditional pearl key for front F, while the compact design makes the keys feel closer to the body of the instrument.

With a brushed finish and dull lacquer on both the body and the keys, the Reference 54 has a vintage appeal.

It plays very easily in the lower register, and has a really deep, strong sound which holds its own in any sax section.
