Our Description

Antigua saxophones have been the buzz of internet forums for a while, and they already have a huge fan base in the USA. With a design based heavily around other saxophones (comparisons are often made with the top-end Yanagisawa models), but Taiwan- and machine-made as opposed to handmade. These play very well and are great value for money.

"Professional musicians search for an instrument they can develop a special bond with, one that becomes an extension of themselves. The Antigua SS4290LQ is the horn to fill that role. Contemporary design, premium materials, impeccable craftsmanship and road-worthy reliability team up to make the SS4290LQ a classic.

To enhance the versatility of the SS4290LQ we include both straight and curved necks, as well as a high G key. To cap it off, the Antigua SS4290LQ receives exquisite hand engraving and is available in a variety of beautiful finishes. The SS4290LQ is completed with a lacquered brass body and keys. The former model number of the SS4290LQ was A590-LQ."
