"Kenny G. started playing on the Selmer Mark VI Soprano, Alto and Tenor Saxophones back in 1966, but now prefers his own Custom designed Saxophones, that he has created and appropriately called "Kenny G Saxophones". Kenny G and his partner, saxophone designer Rheuben Allen, have opened their own factory in mainland China for the production of the new “Kenny G Saxophones”.
Rheuben, a world known designer and repairman, lives in China and checks every instrument during the manufacturing process, to insure the best Quality Control possible. Every factory employee is personally trained by Rheuben to make the best saxophones in the market today.
The Dark Gold Lacquer was patterned after the great tradition saxophones of the 1950’s and provides a very dark rich tone color. The Silver Plating on both the Silver Plated and Silver Plated Key Models, is the EZ Care Tarnish Resistant Silver Plating TM, and is very tarnish resistant. Just wipe and it shines like new.
"When I made the prototypes for the new E-Series II altos and tenors (said Rheuben Allen, Designer) I made several necks with different tapers and dimensions and gave them to Kenny to try. Kenny picked the combination he liked best and that is what we have placed in our production."
The E-Series II Soprano saxophone stands alone in the world of modern soprano saxophones. It is a copy of the bore and key work of the Soprano Kenny plays and it is the first soprano ever designed to offer the exchangeable harmonic key. By changing the harmonic key the saxophonist can decide to have either the harmonic key open the high F
or the high E pad cups. This option allows for the player to choose the correct key opening for their mouthpiece and playing style. It has never been offered by any other company in the past or to the best of Rheuben’s present knowledge."
