The PMSA-500BX alto gives the player a bright tone with stunning clarity. The beautiful black nickel plating can be complimented with silver and gold keywork. This beautifully ergonomic design is balanced perfectly and is easy to maneuver and comfortable to hold. The aesthetics of the keywork against the black nickel is charming indeed. Professional horn with arresting good looks, a bright but not harsh tone and phenomenal color and clarity. What a horn. Maybe it's right for you?
