THE INSTRUMENT

 

The G Mezzo Soprano Saxophone is conceived, developed and built by Peter Jessen in Copenhagen.

​

It is tuned in the key of G, placing it between Sopranosax and Altosax.

​

The bore of the instrument (dimensions and length of the instrument) is slenderer than on standard saxophones, giving it a dark, round timbre, close to the color found on double reed instruments. 

​

However, it retains the flexibility, strength and dynamics of the saxophone.
