Convergence: Sopranino Saxophone Music Across the Centuries by Farrell Vernon - Review by Samantha Mason

Convergence is third album of saxophonist Farell Vernon focusing on music for the sopranino saxophone. As one of the highest saxophone voices in the family it is a seldom-exploited sound as far as solo and chamber music recordings go.

There are many excellent horns available on the market today but P. Mauriat’s 66 tenor and 67 alto rolled tone hole saxophones, 10 years after their first release, are still regarded as a unique instrument by many horn enthusiasts.

Nowadays most saxophones look the same, same finish, same keys but not our PMXT- 66RX "Influence" model... In this case just one look at the P. Mauriat PMXT- 66 RX is enough to say that this saxophone is something very special and it is...

Yeah, that's right! There are no abalone or pearl key touches. We replaced them by adding the nickel silver touches. The same one that are used in flutes.
