Description

■Suppresses harsh high-pitched overtones, achieving a clear, thick sound!

The HDA thumb hook is an abbreviation for High Damping Alloy, and is a saxophone part made from "Alphe," a material well known for cello endpins.
Wind instruments can increase the volume by transmitting and amplifying sound vibrations through the tube, but because the vibrations interfere with each other, the sound cannot be focused, resulting in a blurred, hard-to-hear sound even though it is loud.
By installing this product, the characteristics of ALFE absorb noise such as minute resonances that are transmitted through the tube,
It is possible to express the pure, original sound of the instrument as sound.

■Special alloy ALFE (Fe-8Al Alloy)
Alfe is an Fe-Al alloy with an Al content of 8%, developed by Alfeco Co., Ltd., that is lightweight and has excellent magnetic and vibration-damping properties. It also has heat resistance, making it a promising new material for the future (patented).

Specifications: Compatible Models: Selmer models without teardrop-shaped strings (current models) Material: Colored Alfe Finish: None Accessories: Shim washers (for use with Yanagisawa saxophones)
*Regarding Yanagisawa saxophones, stable attachment may be difficult due to individual differences in the instrument itself. We are currently checking with the manufacturer. Please note that we cannot currently confirm whether or not the instrument can be attached.

*Please note that due to the nature of the product, small scratches may be present.
