SHORE SAX Mark ONE Professional Soprano Saxophone – Balance, Color, and Modern Precision

The SHORE SAX Mark ONE Professional Soprano Saxophone is crafted for musicians who demand exceptional intonation, tonal flexibility, and the ability to paint with a full spectrum of colors. Built with meticulous attention to detail and informed by the needs of today’s players, the Mark ONE delivers the balance, control, and artistry required on the most exacting stages and in the most intimate studios.

Where many sopranos force players to compromise between tuning stability and expressive freedom, the Mark ONE has been engineered to offer both—precision where it counts, and flexibility where artistry demands it.

Crafted for Unmatched Performance

The Mark ONE Soprano is designed with premium materials and hand-finished to the highest standards:

• 24k Gold-Plated Body with Premium Hand Engraving: A luminous finish that projects warmth and presence, featuring intricate engravings and the SHORE SAX wave logo above the octave key mechanism—a nod to legendary 5-digit Selmers and a mark of distinction.

• Two Necks Included: A straight silver-plated neck for centered intonation and focus, and a semi-curved 24k gold-plated neck for added warmth and comfort—giving players the flexibility to shape their sound and setup.

• Brecker-Style Brass Thumb Rest: Ergonomically designed for control and comfort, allowing effortless right-hand support.

• Pisoni Pro Pads with Nickel-Silver Resonators: Deliver clarity, fast response, and projection while honoring the tonal ideals of vintage sopranos.

• Blue Steel Springs: Provide a crisp, snappy action for precision keywork and fluid articulation.

• High F# Key: Seamlessly integrated for extended range without sacrificing resonance or tonal core.

• Ergonomic Keywork: Designed for smooth, responsive playability across the horn’s full range.

A Sound That Inspires

Every SHORE SAX Mark ONE Soprano Saxophone is play-tested and fine-tuned for the specific demands of the soprano:

• Balanced Intonation: Even tuning across the full range, with the stability players need in solo, ensemble, and studio settings.

• Expressive Flexibility: A tonal palette that spans pure clarity, lush warmth, and everything in between—adaptable to the voice of the player.

• Smooth, Even Registers: Seamless transitions across octaves, eliminating the resistance and unevenness often associated with soprano playing.

• Responsive Playability: Instant response and control, whether shaping subtle dynamics or projecting powerfully in a live context.
