"“The Atlantic Duke is the smoothest sounding horn I have ever played. It has that classic, deep, resonant tone with incredibly rich overtones, yet looks and feels like a modern horn with an old soul. Of all the modern tenor saxophones I’ve played, this is the one that truly hits the spot""
Plays: The Duke Tenor

Ray Gelato is a master of swing and jump blues, leading his Giants of Jive to stages across the world. His distinctive saxophone style and charismatic performances have made him one of the most sought-after entertainers in contemporary swing music.
"I never thought that I would get on with a brand new tenor but this is a different ball game. The key work is smooth and so easy to play but the thing for me is the huge, rich sound that this horn produces. That’s rare on modern horns so in effect , The Atlantic is a new sax but with the old, vintage sensibilities . To top it all, the hand engraving is the finishing touch to make this sax something really special."
