14 Days Home Trial




Your instrument will most likely be with you for many years so it makes sense to try it out for more than an hour in a shop.

Our home trial even allows you try out mouthpieces, custom barrels, bells and ligatures.


Instruments

Instruments have a 14 day trial period so you can play the instrument at home or in band, take it to a lesson and show your teacher - basically make sure it's the correct Instrument for you. If not we refund the full cost of the Instrument, minus shipping costs. This trial 14 day period does not affect our standard offer of a 30 day return policy for any damaged or faulty goods. Returns are not accepted on special orders, bespoke or custom made items.

General Accessories

Accessories can be returned for refund or exchange provided they are sent back in a fully saleable condition, within 14 days of purchase. This trial 14 day period does not affect our standard offer of a 30 dayreturn policy for any damaged or faulty goods.

Returns are not accepted on special orders, bespoke or custom made items.

Mouthpieces

We offer a 14 day home trial period for mouthpieces. We also, at our discretion may allow three mouthpeces to be tried at a time with payment being made for one, the other two mouthpieces sent out on account. Mouthpieces returned are subject to a £5 re-stocking fee. 14 day trial period does not affect our standard offer of a 30 day return policy for any damaged or faulty goods. Returns are not accepted on special orders, bespoke or custom made items.

Hanson Series VIII Alto Saxophone Hand Rubbed Raw Brass

Season:2019

Brand:Hanson

Code:SA8-R

Featuring an all new and improved thin wall design which is incredibly resonant.

Our research and testing of a new thinner wall for tube for saxophones has resulted in what we feel and players tell us is the best feeling and most resonant saxophone range ever made. We have conducted ‘blind testing’ side by side with favourites such as the renowned Yamaha 62, Yanagisawa WO1 and 992 and the Hanson VIII came out as favourite with almost all the players.

Keywork for the new Series VIII benefits from our self adjusting point screw mechanism which gives a faster, smoother and lighter feel to the key action.

Completing the new model is a choice of beautiful finished to the body and keys. A distinctive deep gold lacquer which shows off our delicate and tasteful hand engraving or the increasingly popular raw brass/raw bronze which is hand rubbed and then protected with microcrystaline wax.

  • Single piece seamless thin wall body tube -incredible resonance with a superior tone quality
  • Cold forged keywork – extra strength and durability
  • Self adjusting spring loaded bearings – lighter action and faster keys
  • Accoustic annealed neck, body and bell
  • Hand engraved.
  • Choice of brass or bronze body and bell.

The famous Hansona fiveyears warranty,five years free servicing and five years wear and tear repairs is included.
