Seven hours. Every line by hand.

The Duke is brought to life by two master engravers with more than 50 years of combined experience. Each instrument requires around seven hours of meticulous hand engraving, with intricate Art Deco-inspired patterns flowing across the bell and bow to create Atlantic’s unmistakable signature style.

I can't put it down

Jamie was super helpful guiding me with this alto and it's absolute perfection. I haven't been this excited about a new saxophone in years. I can't put it down!
