FAQs From Same Category

What is a sound ring?

A phonic ring is a copper ring placed at the joint between the neck and the body of the saxophone.

The material of the ring has a conductive effect that creates a connection between the two parts of the instrument, preventing the sound vibration from being interrupted.

As a result, the sound becomes fuller and more generous.


Does the phonic ring have an impact on intonation?

No, the phonic ring has no impact on the instrument’s intonation. With only 0.5 mm thickness for clarinets and 1 mm for saxophones, it does not affect the tuning or accuracy of your instrument in any way.

It actually provides greater clarity and precision.


How is the phonic ring for saxophone different from a tuning ring?

There is no tuning ring for saxophone.

The tuning ring, used on clarinets, is designed to adjust the space between the mouthpiece and the barrel.

On the other hand, the phonic ring for saxophone is placed at a different level: between the neck and the body of the instrument.

Its role is to improve the transmission of vibrations to enrich the sound.


Does it fit all saxophones?

The phonic ring is compatible with alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones and is available in three sizes.

However, it is not yet suitable for sopranino, soprano, and bass saxophones.
