This particular instrument pairs that professional configuration with a subdued antique lacquer treatment and offers the extended low register expected by contemporary baritone players. This model is a prototype-it has rolled tone holes on the lower stack to maintain the full, rich low register, but the upper stack has straight toneholes, which helps the high register speak better and be more 'live.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEastman EBS652 Baritone Saxophone Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrument Type: Low A baritone saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey: Eb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: EBS652 52nd Street\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaying Level: Professional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTone Holes: Upper stack straight, lower stack rolled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Matte antique-gold lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Fitted Eastman hard case with wheels and shoulder strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessories: Mouthpiece, cap, ligature, cork grease, swab, polish cloth, and neck strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Setup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lightly used saxophone is in excellent playing order.
