Common Questions About the Eastman EBS652
What distinguishes the EBS652 from the Eastman EBS650?
The EBS652 uses Eastman's 52nd Street design, including an aged unlacquered brass finish, large bell, rolled-style tone holes, S neck, and themed engraving. The EBS650 uses the lacquered Rue Saint-Georges configuration with an R neck.
How will the unlacquered finish change over time?
Unlacquered brass naturally develops additional patina and tonal variation through handling, air exposure, and normal use. These changes are cosmetic and are part of the finish's evolving character.
What does the low A configuration add?
The low A key extends the instrument's written range one semitone below low Bb. That added note is useful in modern big-band writing, concert literature, saxophone ensemble music, and commercial arrangements.
