Kim Bock KB Handcrafted Saxophone Necks
Few upgrades transform a saxophone as dramatically as the neck, and no modern neck producer has elevated the art and acoustics of saxophone neck design like Kim Bock. We are proud to announce that we have entered into a partnership with Kim Bock and are now a KB Sax authorized dealer, bringing these world-class handcrafted necks directly to your hands!
The necks are hand built by Kim Bock for precision, artistry, and acoustic mastery. Every KB neck is individually crafted by Kim Bock in his American workshop, using a unique mirror-twin manufacturing process as well other proprietary secret sauce proceses that allows him to create necks with exceptionally consistent wall thickness and perfectly balanced taper geometry. This precision process gives KB necks their signature qualities.
These necks are not mass-produced. They are individualized boutique acoustic tools, each reflecting years of hands on work restoring vintage Selmer Mark VIs and Super Balanced Action horns helping to create custom setups for elite professional saxophonists.
KB necks have been tested, shaped, and refined with input from some of the most respected modern saxophone voices. KB Sax neck owners love these necks for there professional feel, with models tailored to players who need both versatility and individuality.
KB currently offers 3 neck models, including Redwood, Canyon, and Vanguard, each offering its own nuanced sonic personality.
Necks are available in brass, bronze, and hand-hammered copper variants, with metals carefully selected for their acoustic behavior, clarity, and color. Not every neck is available in every metal option.
Whether you play a vintage Selmer Paris Mark VI, Super Balanced Action, Balanced Action, Conn, Yamaha, Yanagisawa, Keilwerth, or other modern professional instrument, KB necks are known to:
* Add power and projection without sacrificing control
* Improve intonation stability across the entire horn
* Deliver more depth and resonance to the tone
