its called an intermediate horn, keyed to high F#, hand ingraved on bell and body, its even got that dark laquor thing going on ( i dont know the correct term) and it came w/ a straight and curved neck. so it seems nice enough to me, as a student.but what the best part was i got the horn for a steal. besides that it looks very beautiful, even if that doesnt really matter. it seems to play nicely, w/ easy responce in all registers. Minding that i am still only a hs student and have never played one before. I finally got my Antigua 586LQ Soprano on saturday. course they are all about selling me a horn, enough so that they shipped on out here for me. but anyone i talked to about Antiguas only had good things to say.apparently they are known for their saxes, and have recently done alot of research and remaking to improve their horns.anywaysm after a giant run around on trying to find a dealer in this area, i finally called the Antigua factory/warehouse in Texas. I asked everywhere i could, and either they haddnt heard of Antiguas or they just trie dto sell me somthing else. I have to say at first a was very skeptic. I really wanted to learn the soprano sax, but i didnt have the couple of thousands to shell out for a decent horn and i wasnt sure if i would contiune to play. But anyways, i posted on here about 3 months ago asking the same question. i thot they had a factory in Texas, guess it was just a warehouse (?) i dunno.
