What makes the Forestone Saxophone different to other saxophones on the market?

There are a lot of details where the Forestone Saxophones differs from the rest of the market but there are 2 big differences which make our horn unique.

1. We are proud of that our master Japanese master technician builds every horn by himself. Forestone is the first brand where it’s not a random factory person who set ups the horn.Our technician stands with his name for every single horn (engraved on the body) thus customers can be sure that every single horn is set at up at the highest level.

2. The second big difference is the FVCT process which gives the horn more resonance and makes it more free blowing.

What does the saxophone sound like? Does it have a distinct sound?

Describing a sound of an instrument is not an easy task. So we asked many players what they think the horn sounds like. Many answered it sounds a little bit like a Selmer, others thought more of a Conn and some also said it reminds them of a Yanagisawa. But everybody said it was a unique and beautiful sound. So we think, they are all right and that our saxophones indeed have sound aspects of these three brands but in combination the Forestone sound is unique on the market. It’s a round, flexible sound and rich in colour.

What is a cryogenical treatment and how does it relate to the Forestone Saxophone?

During the assembly process our saxophone undergoes a unique method called "cryogenical freezing" also known as FVCT treatment. We smooth out the stresses within the metal of the saxophone. This will give the saxophone a more wide and free sound.
