INTRODUCING THE NEW "S"
SERIES, THE NEXT EVOLUTION IN PONZOL NECKS. AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY FROM
US.
A new bore design has resulted in even
greater response, improved intonation and a warmer tone.
I'm
always surprised that most players don't understand the importance of
the neck. The neck has a greater influence on how a horn performs than
any other factor. Intonation, timbre, resistance and consistency of tone
are some of the major things that a neck can influence. Just because
your horn has the "original" neck doesn't mean that it's the
right one for that horn. The idea that the original neck is so important
is not really true. If the neck has a matching serial number to the body
of a saxophone, it may be important to a collector, but it does not have
very much importance to the player.
I have spent 11 years working together
with well known saxophone factories in France and Germany. My time spent
in these factories taught me how important the neck can be, similar to
the head joint of a flute in determining response, resistance and pitch.
My necks have a different taper and
bore than the original necks they replace. They are available in gold plate only.
Ponzol necks are sold with a one week trial period during which the neck
can be returned for a refund, minus $25.00 restocking fee, as long as
the neck is returned in perfect condition. A one week trial means that
if you receive the neck on the 10th, it must be on its way back by
the 17th at the latest. You must have proof of the date you shipped the
neck. Necks returned late will be returned to you. No returns accepted without a return
authorization.

Ponzol necks are available for all
French Selmer and Yamaha alto and tenor saxophones. I do not
make soprano or baritone necks.
If you are interested in a neck for a Selmer Mark VI,
Yanagisawa or Keilwerth, you would have to send me the neck to
measure. There is no other way, so please don't give me the serial
number, it doesn't help. Mark VI's vary very much in their tenon sizes,
and this has nothing to do with the age or serial number. I need your
neck to measure. Necks that need to be custom fitted for the above saxophones
are not returnable. Newer Selmers and Yamahas are no problem as their tenon
sizes are quite consistent.
Necks are available direct from Ponzol
Products. We accept PayPal only. We do not accept credit
cards. Of all the necks I sell, less than 1% are returned, so the difference my neck makes must be obvious. I have tested my necks on all of the above listed saxophones and have found great improvements in terms of response and ease of playing.
