The Academy line offers the musician an instrument with extraordinary performances in terms of sound, flexibility, performance and ease of emission. The historic Italian brand “Ida Maria Grassi” saxophones are designed for professional musicians looking for unique timbric and emission qualities.
In this line the artisan skill merges with the most modern technologies. In fact, craftsmen’s competence and passion are flanked by the use of modern CNC machines to obtain instruments with balanced, precise and reliable mechanics.
Grassi’s R&D presides over every stage of the production process as well as the selection and choice of the most suitable materials such as copper and brass, after having carried out numerous tests. The modern mechanics and the springs in blue-steel allow for a great key reaction speed and excellent ergonomics.
The Pisoni pads (100% made in Italy) with metallic resonators ensure a perfect and long-lasting closure of the keys as well as excellent timber.
The junction between the stem and the 3-point bell ensures a perfect vibration transmission throughout the entire instrument. The whole line has the adjustable thumb-rest to allow maximum comfort for the performer.
The different finishes and the materials that form the body ensure that everyone can find the most suitable instrument for the genre played: from classical to jazz music. The instruments are further embellished with handmade engravings by skilled craftsmen.
All the instrument cases are designed and built to protect the instruments as well as to satisfy every musician’s needs.
