The BetterSax is part of a relaunch of the Bundy instrument brand by Conn-Selmer. If you are my age or a little older, there’s a good chance you started on one of those.

Then we have the BetterSax logo stamped on the bell and you can see beneath that “by Bundy.” On the bell and bow of the Better Sax, there is subtle hand engraving in the classic style.
The underslung octave key is inspired by the great legendary King saxophones as well as modern, elite Yanagisawas. We went with a darker colored gold lacquer to evoke a more vintage vibe.
