Uprise Series Professional Bb Tenor Saxophone is a professional tenor saxophone in the key of Bb, built on the Gen 2 Uprise platform with a Mark VI body style, brass neck and rolled tone holes.
A Mark VI body with rolled tone holes, which is the traditional tenor voice a lot of players are actually chasing.
The Uprise Series is a Gen 2 platform built on a Mark VI body style with a brass neck, rolled tone holes and double braces. Rolled tone holes give a wider, smoother seat for the pad, which is the traditional approach and the reason a lot of players prefer this platform.
Every Uprise horn carries full body and bell engraving, Pisoni WS105 pads on convex nickel plated resonators, blue steel springs, high grade pearls, a custom support ring, a rod support bullet, a low C sharp keyguard, a G sharp and low C sharp non-stick mechanism, and adjustable left and right hand keys with a palm key rising mechanism on D, E flat, E and F.

What Do Rolled Tone Holes Do?
The rim of each tone hole is rolled outward into a wider, smoother seat. The pad has more surface to seal against and takes less punishment, so the seal holds longer and stays more consistent. It also contributes to the broader, warmer response that separates the Uprise platform from the Origin.
What Is the Difference Between the Origin and Uprise Series?
They are different platforms, not different tiers. The Origin Series is Gen 3 on a Super 80 S2 body with a copper nickel neck and vertically extruded tone holes. The Uprise Series is Gen 2 on a Mark VI body style with a brass neck, rolled tone holes, double braces and a low C sharp keyguard.
Vertically extruded tone holes and a copper nickel neck give the Origin a more focused, quicker response. Rolled tone holes and a brass neck give the Uprise a broader, more traditional voice. Neither is the better horn. They are answers to different questions.
What Are Pisoni WS105 Pads?
A professional pad built from waterproof tan leather over deluxe woven felt with a convex nickel plated resonator. They seal reliably, hold their seat far longer than a generic pad, and give a cleaner response at low dynamics, which is where a marginal pad shows up first.
What Comes in the Box?
Saxophone, professional mouthpiece with cap and ligature, neck strap, cleaning cloth and cork grease, in a hard case.
