Description
"When I designed the ProOne line of professional saxophones in 2009 Antigua was not using cryogenics in the treatment of the metal. At that time there was some controversy about the benefits. After testing a new ProOne tenor that has been treated with this cryogenic deep freezing of the metal I am more than convinced as to the benefits. The sound which is wonderful to begin with is even fuller and warmer. The resistance is improved and is much more even over the entire frequency range. I highly recommend and urge you to try a ProOne with this cryogenic treatment." - Peter Ponzol
The ProOne is Antigua’s most versatile saxophone series. Peter Ponzol, the renowned player and designer, considers the ProOne saxophone the ultimate expression of his design concepts.
From the G# lifter that ensures it never sticks, to the B-C# roller and F-F# bridge, this is the professional’s dream saxophone. The heart and soul of the ProOne is the Ponzol neck, with precise intonation and consistency at any volume level. The series also features trident key arms on the low register keys that can be adjusted to improve clear, concise entrances without the fear of fluttering.
The first “hybrid,” the combination of drawn tone holes with the ringed bell key tone holes offers a balanced sound while adding strength where it is needed most. The soprano is a one-piece body so players avoid the turbulence that occurs where the neck detaches. The custom alloy and design of the Pro-One provides a nimble response and a brilliantly rich and dark tone.
* Classic Antique is cryogenically treated in the same manner as the Model 25.
