This Forestone RX is a serious contender for the discerning saxophonist. The red brass gives it a beautiful, focused warmth that’s really pleasing, and the build quality feels rock-solid. It’s perfect for players who want a classic, professional alto without the ultra-modern feel of some other instruments – think jazz, blues, and classic pop.
