Features of the 991 Series:
-Two necks one curved and one straight
-Ribbed construction
Posts are connected to a single metal rib that is soldered to the body of the saxophone - this adds to the durability and longevity of the instrumen
-Double connected table key
Not only are the C# and Bb keys connected with the oscillating table mechanism, but the C# and B have also adopted this same motion-
-Metal resonator
The metal resonators give clarity to the sound of the instrument in all dynamic ranges
-Metal thumb rests
Both thumb rests on the saxophone are metal to match with the style of the saxophone and the right hand thumb hook is adjustable so that the performer can customize the feel of their saxophone
Other Features include:
-Teflon octave system
Both ends of the octave key axis rotate in a receptacle that is coated with teflon to insure a smooth operation every time.

The C# and Bb keys have a rocking table mechanism that allows for optimal speed and fluidity between these pitches -F-auxiliary key mechanism
Insures a proper seal of the pads when playing in the low range of the saxophone
