Black nickel is more than just a colour. The sax is made from regular brass, then black nickel plated. This thin layer of nickel produces it's own resonance giving greater clarity to the sound. By comparison, solid black lacquer has a dampening effect on the vibrations enhancing a warmer, darker tone.Subj: Saxophones.co.uk. Date: 21/06/01 06:07:30 GMT Daylight Time. From: nicola@nevada1.freeserve.co.uk (Nicola McPhee). "Just wanted to drop you a line to highly commend your wonderful Company. I contacted you a few months before I purchased my Trevor James "Horn" Alto Sax Pack from you and your service has been first class! You have kindly (and patiently!) answered all my questions in a most efficient manner and provided me with sound advice to assist me in making the right purchase. Your web site is brilliantly designed and most informative. I learned so much about saxophones from following the "sax trail". When I ordered my sax, I filled in the online order form very early in the morning, confirmed the order with Phill at 0900 hrs and I was holding my shiny new sax the following afternoon by 1300 hrs! Fantastic service! It hasn't ended there either. Your after-sales service and advice has been second to none. You both show an incredible enthusiasm and passion which is a breath of fresh air in these modern times. I would be delighted to recommend your service to anyone who, like me, has been dreaming of owning and playing the saxophone for over twenty years. You make the dream a reality and with the option to rent or buy it makes it affordable even just to try ... there is nothing to lose. Keep up the good work! Kind Regards." Nicola J. M.
