Theo Wanne Narayan Tenor Saxophone - Personal Collection

Theo Wanne Narayan Tenor Saxophone - Personal Collection

This Narayan was in Theo's private collection. It is like new and was only played by Theo a few times, then it was on his wall display or sitting in the case.

 

It comes with a very rare one-piece constructed neck. Only two were made. Theo plays on the other one. Theo decided not to make more due to the high cost. Usually necks is made in two pieces and soldered together. This neck is totally smooth inside, no solder ring. Very rare collector piece, which plays wonderful.

 

The like-new horn comes with a quality, but scuffed case.  
We also have one brand new Narayan (the very last brand new one, still in the box).

 

To help cover shipping costs, we've set the weight under 1 lb. Our pleasure to cover most of the shipping costs for our saxophones.  Please note, challenging international locations may not be possible.

 

The NARAYAN Tenor saxophone has a big, full vintage sound with amazing flexiility.

It is the Ferrari of tenor saxophones.

 

The NEW 2020 NARAYAN is freedom in the form of and tenor saxophone! It is designed to feel flexible, agile, and free while having that big vintage saxophone sound.

 

Narayan: The God Narayan represents the source of all creation in Hinduism. Everything in this world comes from him. The Narayan Saxophone is designed to be such a significant and meaningful saxophone.

 

Three ring strap hook: Theo Wanne’s proprietary three-ring strap hook allows the neck-strap to be connected at different locations, so the saxophone can tilt at the appropriate playing angle while sitting down or standing up.

 

Three Point Bell to Body Brace: Theo Wanne’s proprietary three point bell-to-body brace has three fully captured points of contact with the body. It is far stronger than a traditional brace while allowing for previously unheard of vibratory freedom.

 

Neck: Comes with our proprietary titanium alloy neck with unique taper which creates a huge sound, easy altissimo and improved intonation.

 

Finish: The Narayan alto has our Blue-Vintified™ body and gold lacquer keys. This special finish allows for incredible vibration and resonance in the tubes.

 

The NARAYAN has many other innovations, which we keep confidential. However their benefit becomes obvious once you try the horn yourself!
