Those of us who are saxophone players are constantly searching for a better reed, a better mouthpiece, a better ligature, a better neck, and perhaps even a better saxophone. Perhaps we have found some or most of that already.

I have known woodwind specialist Rheuben Allen for at least 40 years. I have worked and rehearsed with him. I have been to his repair shop for work on my horns, and I have bought his saxophone. But above all, Rheuben is an inventor.

His most current invention is his own version of the  saxophone neck with a moving weight that changes the quality of sound depending on what position we put the weight. I have played several versions of the neck over the last few years as he was constantly improving the response.

This new neck is “the bomb.”  It is available in a number of metals and lacquers. I know for sure it will make a big change in the response of your instrument and the sounds available to you.

Call Rheuben NOW !!!!

Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu (from Latin: cuprum) and atomic number 29. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical and vibration conductivity.  A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a pinkish-orange color.  Copper is used as a conductor of heat and electricity, as a building material, and as a constituent of various metal alloy, such as sterling silver used in jewelry, cupronnickel used to make marine hardware and coins, and consistantly used in strain gauges and thermocuples, for temperature measurement.

Copper is one of the few metals that can occur in nature in a directly usable metallic form. This led to very early human use in several regions, from c. 8000 BC. Thousands of years later, it was the first metal to be smelted from sulfide ores, c. 5000 BC, the first metal to be cast into a shape in a mold, c. 4000 BC and the first metal to be purposefully alloyed with another metal, tin, to create bronze, c. 3500 BC.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, in proportions which can be varied to achieve varying mechanical and electrical properties. It is a substitutional alloy: atoms of the two constituents may replace each other within the same crystal structure.

It is simlilar to Bronze, another alloy containing copper, with tin included instead of zinc; both bronze and brass may include small proportions of a range of other elements including arsenic, lead, phosphorus, aluminum, manganese and silicon. The distinction between the two alloys is largely historical,^[3] and modern practice in museums and archaeology increasingly avoids both terms for historical objects in favor of the more general “copper alloy”.
