Eastman EBS650 Rue Saint-Georges Professional Baritone Saxophone - Lacquer (Competition Demo / Open Box Model)

Eastman EBS650 Rue Saint-Georges Professional Baritone Saxophone - Lacquer (Competition Demo / Open Box Model)

We have a rare and exciting opportunity for the low-brass community! This spectacular Eastman EBS650 Rue Saint-Georges Baritone Saxophone is an official factory demo model from the recent Houston Underground Saxophone Competition.

Please note: This is a pristine display model. It was unboxed strictly for manufacturer display and exclusive play-testing by elite artists during the event. It has not been owned or gigged, and is functionally a brand-new instrument. It is now available to the public at a deeply discounted open-box price.

Named in homage to the Parisian street where Adolphe Sax originally established his factory, the Rue Saint-Georges line was meticulously engineered to capture the elegance of traditional French saxophones. While Eastman's "52nd Street" baritones are known for their massive, vintage spread, the EBS650 delivers a highly refined, focused, and perfectly centered core sound. It is an extraordinary instrument for the serious classical artist, the meticulous wind ensemble player, or the jazz musician looking for laser-like articulation in the low register.

The Rue Saint-Georges EBS650

• Focused French Core: Designed to prioritize tonal clarity and intonation accuracy. The EBS650 provides a tight, highly responsive blow that requires very little effort to project, making technical altissimo or rapid low-A passages feel incredibly secure.
• The "R" Neck Design: This specific outfit includes Eastman's proprietary "R" neck. With its slightly narrower bore taper, it provides an exceptionally compact "landing zone" for intonation, guaranteeing crisp attacks and a perfectly even scale from top to bottom.
• Premium Mechanics: The key action is effortlessly ergonomic, engineered to feel as nimble as an alto. Features include an adjustable thumb rest for perfect hand positioning, a high F# key, and a low A key.
• Classic Aesthetics: The clear lacquer finish offers a beautiful, timeless look, complemented by deluxe, elegant hand-engraving down the bell.

Condition & Shop Inspection

• Cosmetics: Competition Demo / Open Box. This baritone was unboxed solely for artist play-testing at a major educational event. The clear lacquer is stunning and 100% intact, showing only the most microscopic, virtually imperceptible signs of being handled.
• Mechanics: Flawless. Even pristine event demos undergo our rigorous quality control. Our Houston-based repair team has thoroughly benched and regulated this massive saxophone to ensure every single pad seals with absolute perfection and the key action is lightning-fast.
• Accessories: Includes a premium Eastman deluxe wheeled flight case, an Eastman mouthpiece, ligature, cap, neck strap, and factory accessories.
