// buzz Nickel Silver Sccessories for Saxophone // Saxophone screws are generally made of brass, but by replacing the screws that secure the neck with ones made of nickel silver, t he vibrations of the neck are transmitted directly to the body of the instrument, allowing the instrument to sound more efficiently. This is an important part that has a significant impact on the contours of the sound, overtones, and resonance. *What is nickel silver? An alloy of copper and zinc is called brass, and has long been used as a material for brass instruments and saxophones due to its ease of processing and tone. Nickel silver is a material made by mixing nickel with brass, and as it adds the hardness and corrosion resistance of nickel to brass, it has long been used for some saxophone parts that require strength. In recent years, it has also begun to be used as a material for saxophone bodies, and its unique sound is creating a new direction for saxophones. (Atsumi) ■We received a comment from Tatsuya Sato! "The [buzz] neck screws, layer screws, and support ring screws are individually carved to enhance the sound and playing feel of your saxophone. Nickel silver, a metal used in flutes and some high-end saxophones, produces rich overtones. I use them myself, and I highly recommend them!" Show more
