Sonora STS-75 Tenor Saxophone

The Sonora STS-75 is a tenor saxophone with a brass body and a clear lacquered finish. The tenor is the deeper, fuller-voiced member of the common sax family, and it turns up everywhere from school and community bands to jazz combos, rock and soul horn sections, and pop arrangements.

The clear lacquer lets the natural colour of the brass show through while adding a protective coat over the metal. That layer helps slow tarnishing and makes routine care simpler: a wipe-down after playing keeps the finish looking tidy. For a player who wants an instrument they can pick up regularly without much fuss over its appearance, that’s a practical advantage.
