The other day<\/a> I started my series on the bass saxophones of J\u2019\u00c9lle Stainer. J\u2019\u00c9lle Stainer is the Brazilian saxophone manufacturer who specializes in making handmade saxophones that produce sounds below 65.4 Hz\u2014a baritone’s low A. (Which is why the company’s website address is: http:\/\/www.below65-4hz.com\/<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The only saxophone that is not handmade by J\u2019\u00c9lle Stainer itself is model SAX226J\u2014otherwise simply known as Bass Saxophone. According to J\u2019\u00c9lle Stainer’s Gilberto Lopes, the Bass Saxophone is made in China by the Jinbao company.<\/p>\n

Some of you might remember last April I wrote about a couple of these Bass Saxophones<\/a> up for auction on eBay shortly after the Musikmesse in Frankfurt\u2014at least I think it was after the\u00a0Musikmesse. At the time, some of us speculated that due to the strong similarities between these and the Oleg horns et al., J\u2019\u00c9lle Stainer was getting these\u00a0bass saxes\u00a0stencilled through Jinbao. Apparently we were correct in those speculations.<\/p>\n

The Jinbao-stencilled, J\u2019\u00c9lle Stainer Bass Saxophone is keyed from low Bb to high F#, and is available in a number of finish options including: lacquer, silver plate, and the bronze vintage lacquer pictured above. Since they are Jinbao horns, they are of course copies of the Selmer Series II bass saxophones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the following slide shows, you can see the various features of the J\u2019\u00c9lle Stainer Bass Saxophone in both the bronze vintage lacquer and\u00a0silver plated finishes.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n

While those of us in North American\u00a0might not be all that excited about these Jinbao-stencilled J\u2019\u00c9lle Stainer Bass Saxophones, since we have easy access to Jinbao horns through companies such as International Woodwind, we have to remember that we are spoiled. With this particular stencil horn, J\u2019\u00c9lle Stainer is allowing players in the Southern Hemisphere much easier access to a French wrap bass sax.<\/p>\n
