The Korena take

Eastman’s ETS-852 52nd St. is a Bb tenor saxophone with an unlacquered look and a design centered on response, projection, and intonation. Its larger bell and carefully placed rolled-style tone holes are part of its big, vintage-leaning voice. The included M and S necks, developed with Bob Mintzer, pair with the DS mechanism to give the player different working options from the same horn.
