Choice

Selmer Tenor Copper Neck
Enhance your Selmer tenor with a copper crook. Copper gives a big, loud, direct and focused sound, but does not lose any richness. It makes the tone more resonant and creates better clarity and projection. Also, it adds increased tonal and dynamic control.

Our Price (excluding vat): £297.87 (£350.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Series II or III?

Selmer (Paris) Reference 36 Tenor Neck
This gold lacquered brass crook is a significant factor in making the Reference 36 sound like an old Selmer Balanced Action. Fits straight onto Yamaha 62, Yamaha Custom and Guardala. Sounds great on Selmer Series 2 & 3 but you will need to shorten the octave rod very slightly.
Our Price (excluding vat): £282.55 (£332.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Antiqued matt or gold lacquer?

Selmer (Paris) Reference 54 Tenor Neck
This crook sits a little lower and is a significant factor in making the Reference 54 sound like an old Mark 6. Fits straight onto Yamaha 62 (not the old model), Yamaha Custom and Guardala. Sounds great on Selmer Series 2 & 3 but you will need to shorten the octave rod very slightly. If you have a Reference 36 this is a great add on to get those Mark 6 tones.
Our Price (excluding vat): £282.55 (£332.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Antiqued matt or gold lacquer?

Selmer Tenor Series III Booster Neck in clear lacquer
The "BOOSTER" has been developed by Selmer (Paris) with spiral grooves on the inside tenon of the neck. This different surface changes the air flow producing a more focused sound and enhances high pitched sounds with a broad and rich tone.

Clear lacquer finish.

Our Price (excluding vat): £363.40 (£427.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Selmer Tenor Series III Booster Neck, gold plated & engraved!
The "BOOSTER" has been developed by Selmer (Paris) with spiral grooves on the inside tenon of the neck. This different surface changes the air flow producing a more focused sound and enhances high pitched sounds with a broad and rich tone.

"Now you're talking - all the power of the regular booster neck with the charisma of the solid silver and more! The gold plating creates additional resonance making the sound come alive with some extra clarity & zing."

Brass with gold plating & hand engraving.

Our Price (excluding vat): £842.55 (£990.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Selmer Tenor Sterling Solid Silver Neck
Three different models now available for Series III, Reference 36 and Reference 54. The Reference models are designed specifically for their respective saxes. The 36 sits a little lower, and the 54 even lower (like the brass necks) and help produce a slightly more focused sound.
Our Price (excluding vat): £765.10 (£898.99 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Which model?

Keilwerth Tenor Copper Neck
This Crook fits Keilwerth saxes EX90, SX90 & SX90R.

"The copper crook instantly gave a big, loud, direct and focused sound, but didn't lose any richness. It makes the tone more resonant and creates better clarity and projection. Also, it adds increased tonal and dynamic control. One of the most notable combo's is with the black nickel plate and the solid nickel silver saxes". - Tritsan at saxophones.co.uk.
Our Price (excluding vat): £257.02 (£302.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Keilwerth Tenor Copper Neck (slightly marked)
Brand new but this one has picked up a couple of small marks in-store. Nothing big enough to show up on a photo here and purely cosmetic.
Our Price (excluding vat): £231.49 (£272.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Keilwerth Diamond Series Tenor Neck nickel plated
The crook is coated (inside and out) and then heat treated resulting in a more even response and a delightfull extra edge to the tone, reminiscient of a classic Selmer tenor sound.

Our Price (excluding vat): £308.94 (£363.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Keilwerth Diamond Series Tenor Neck copper

Our Price (excluding vat): £321.70 (£378.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Keilwerth Solid Silver Tenor Neck
This stunning keilwerth neck will reduce the resistance when blowing down the sax, creating a brighter, louder and punchier tone.

Our Price (excluding vat): £308.94 (£363.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Yanagisawa 64 Brass Tenor Neck
I tried fitting this crook to a Yani 991 and found that this crook gave a more internalised and brighter tone than the standard Yani brass crook. Particularly around the mid-register, the tone was more focussed in middle frequencies, giving a very 'upfront' response.

In terms of fitting these crooks on other saxes, I found that they slot nicely on to the Yamaha 62 and Custom models, but I found them to be very loose on all Selmer and Keilwerth saxophones.

Our Price (excluding vat): £152.34 (£179.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Yanagisawa 65 Brass Tenor Neck
I found the tone on this crook a lot fuller and more open than the 64. It seemed similar to the standard 991 crook, but with a tad more breadth to the tone for my money. It also produced a very expansive sub-tone. Very nice stuff!

In terms of fitting these crooks on other saxes, I found that they slot nicely on to the Yamaha 62 and Custom models, but I found them to be very loose on all Selmer and Keilwerth saxophones.

Our Price (excluding vat): £122.55 (£144.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Yanagisawa 66 Brass Tenor Neck
I found this crook to be fairly similar to the 64 in tone. Perhaps a tad more edge and hardness overall, and I don't think it was quite as open as the 65. A good choice if you want to cut through!

In terms of fitting these crooks on other saxes, I found that they slot nicely on to the Yamaha 62 and Custom models, but I found them to be very loose on all Selmer and Keilwerth saxophones.

Our Price (excluding vat): £178.72 (£210.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Yanagisawa 92 Bronze Tenor Neck
If there is one criticism that's occassionally made about the Yani T901 it's that the tone is a little lightweight. Well, here's the solution - put a bronze crook on it. Tested here by our own Jim Cheek he described it as warmer with a more breathy vintage tone.
Our Price (excluding vat): £217.87 (£256.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Yanagisawa 192 Gold Plated Bronze Tenor Neck
This is Jim & Tristan's favourite. More open so less resistant allowing more air to flow through the sax. More resonant and more responsive. Basically, a bit more of everything you want!

Our Price (excluding vat): £522.55 (£614.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Yanagisawa 95 Sterling Silver Tenor Neck
This solid silver crook reduces resistance when you blow and really opens the sound up. Its as if the air flows more smoothly over the silver. I tried it on my Dave Guardala and the improvement was instantaneous and dramatic. For the same amount of effort so much more sound comes out of the sax.

Beautiful delicate hand engraving (as pictured) is 10% extra.

Our Price (excluding vat): £717.45 (£843.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Yanagisawa "Pink-Gold" Plated Bronze Tenor Neck
This is the latest from Yanagisawa, Pink Gold! It's a bronze crook, plated in a mixture of 80% gold and 20% silver.

Beautiful delicate hand engraving is 10% extra.
Our Price (excluding vat): £522.55 (£614.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Yamaha Custom F1 Tenor Neck
The F1 Neck is more open sounding, with more volume & tone variation at different volumes. It enhances the overtones in the altissimo register. Improved projection with some edge in the upper registers while covering the darker, soft volumes nicely in the low registers.

Gold lacquered brass.

Our Price (excluding vat): £331.06 (£389.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)
