This Pete Fountain model is the embodiment of the rich, musical landscape of the city for which it was named. Pete collaborated with Leblanc to produce numerous design enhancements that give the Big Easy even greater flexibility, more accurate intonation, and better note-bending ability than its acclaimed predecessors. Players will find that this model sounds as good on the symphony stage as it does on Bourbon Street. Its unique distribution of overtones allows effortless blending in ensemble playing while also providing a vividly expressive solo voice. Most important, the L1612 Pete Fountain model gives plenty of the famous fat tone that has become it's namesake's trademark.
