anyone tried one of these?
Yeah, its great, thats why I bought one.anyone tried one of these?
It wasn't for me as I bought it in japan. Definitely the best place to buy saxes.
Taken from the Forestone description.....................does it make a difference?.......................I do understand the risk of being slapped with VAT, but airfares aside you have the option to go their head technician Atushi Watanabe to get your sax personally set up to your preference free of charge. Also you can go back anytime to witness his work or for light repairs free of charge.

Cryogenic treatment puts the brass through a deep stress cycle, which relieves residual stress from manufacturing at the crystalline level and makes the body more resonant. It is a way of rapidly achieving the "played in" characteristic of a horn that has been stress-cycled by vibration.

I'm not a saxophone expert but I would have thought so...Not that i'm an acoustics expert but in a woodwind it's the air column that vibrates (unlike a guitar) so if the body also resonates surely it could be a problem.
I understand why it shouldn't be desirable, but the quality I love most about my SBA alto is its perceived resonance. It feels alive. I'm sure it's not really resonance, but rather, just a consequence of being lightly built. Whatever it is though, I wish I had a tenor with it.Why would anyone want the body of a saxophone to be resonant? I would have thought resonance in the body would be a detriment.

Forest-tone. This is a frequently asked question:So how do you pronounce it? Is it:
a. Forest-1
b. 4-stone
c. Foress-stone
d. None of the above, something completely different actually
These are the questions saxophonists need answers to..
