Yesterday I happened to come across another stencil name for the American-style, Asian bass saxophones made by Jinyin. According to its website<\/a>, Gear4music is a\u00a0UK-based musical instrument and equipment retailer that was launched in 2003.\u00a0\u00a0Through their on-line presence they\u00a0sell bass saxes\u00a0which carry their store name<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Does this look familiar?<\/p>\n

These bass saxophones\u2014and even their cases\u2014look\u00a0exactly like the current crop of other Jinyin-made, vintage American-style bass saxophones.<\/p>\n

Here is how Gear4music describes their horns:<\/p>\n

This same case is also currently being sold all over the ‘Net as a replacement case under names such as IW, Sax Gourmet, and Rheuben Allen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unlike the vintage American saxophones it was modelled after, this new Asian bass has a bis Bb key.<\/p>\n

Notice how the bass on the inside of the case, and the one standing up on the outside are slightly different? The one outside does not have the attachments for a floor\u00a0peg. This is, I believe, the older stock photo that has been used to sell Jinyin bass saxes.<\/p>\n

Since that photo was taken, Jinyin made some changes to their horns, and the newer version of the sax is the one inside the case. (At least I think it is, based on the rest of Jinyin horns we’ve seen of late.)<\/p>\n

If you want to see what the saxes look like, Gear4music has a really cool, interactive 360\u00b0 movie on their bass page<\/a>. You can stop it, and zoom in anywhere on the horn. It is the most detail I have ever been able to see on these saxes.<\/p>\n

So if you’re in the market\u00a0for an American-designed, Asian-made bass saxophone, or are\u00a0interested at all in what they look like, check out Gear4music’s detailed, interactive movie. You will find it very interesting.<\/p>\n

The price for these Gear4music bass saxophones is \u00a32,899.00, which, at the time of writing, is $4,282.25 US according to XE.com<\/a>. Delivery charges from the UK not included.<\/p>\n
