The Vanguard line offers multiple material options, each shifting the character of the neck in a specific direction. The C-69 brass is the most focused and centred of the Vanguard options — a slender, narrow tone-feel with a slight increase in back pressure that gives the player exceptional articulation control and a highly shapeable tonal response.

The C-69 alloy has a higher copper content than the M-61 brass. That copper content pushes the emphasis toward the mid-tone area, making it slightly warmer than the M-61 while retaining the precise, focused projection the Vanguard is known for. The result is a neck that channels energy efficiently — you immediately feel that everything goes into activating a tight, resonant beam of sound rather than spreading outward.

For players who prioritise control, articulation nuance, and a tone that responds precisely to dynamic and stylistic shaping, the C-69 Vanguard is the natural choice in the lineup. It rewards players who listen closely and want the neck to translate exactly what they're asking for.

KB Sax chose this alloy specifically for these sonic qualities, and applies the same exacting standards of hand-building and playtesting to every neck in the lineup.

Every tenon is custom fabricated to fit your specific instrument. We'll contact you to arrange measurements, and our repair team will fit the neck to your saxophone at no charge. If you upgrade your horn in the future, we'll refit it to your new instrument as well.

At the Wind Instrument Proshop, we understand that sometimes circumstances can make it difficult to pick up an instrument immediately after a repair or service. We are happy to hold completed instruments for a reasonable period of time; however, our shop has limited storage space, and timely pickup allows us to better serve all of our customers.

Pickup of Completed Instruments

Customers will be notified when their instrument is ready for pickup. Payment is due upon completion of the service and must be received before the instrument can be released. Completed instruments should be picked up within 21 days of the customer being notified that the instrument is ready. Customers may pay their invoice online prior to pickup or pay in person at the time of pickup.

Storage Fees

A $10 per week storage fee will apply to completed instruments that remain at the shop more than 21 days after the customer has been notified that the instrument is ready for pickup. Storage fees will continue to accrue until the instrument is picked up.

If there are circumstances preventing timely pickup, please contact us as soon as possible. We are happy to discuss the situation and, where possible, make alternative arrangements.

Unclaimed Instruments

If an instrument remains at the shop for an extended period of time without communication from the customer, we will make reasonable attempts to contact the customer using the contact information provided at the time of service.

Instruments that remain unclaimed for an extended period may be subject to additional action in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Customers remain responsible for all outstanding repair charges and applicable storage fees.

Questions or Special Circumstances

If you anticipate being unable to pick up your instrument within the standard pickup period, please contact us. We understand that circumstances can arise, and we will do our best to work with you when possible.

Thank you for helping us keep our shop organized and our storage space available for all of our customers.
