Handmade Amsterdam Winds saxophone necks

A neck is of critical importance to the sound of the saxophone. That is why we have paid a lot of attention to neck design during the development of our alto and tenor saxophones. Our philosophy is based on the conviction that the purpose of our necks is to make the instrument play as smoothly and freely as possible. The manufacture of a neck demands intensive manual work, and as such, our necks are the product of years of hands-on research and development combined with close collaboration with top musicians.

“I found my dream neck, I love it so much!!
Thank you Friso”

“The neck's socket fits perfectly!!
I will be able to change the neck to AW neck without a rag. It has better response, intonation, and evenness than old original one does. I recommend the AW neck for all vintage-horn guys!!”

“I LOVE THE NECK!!!”

On another saxophone, our necks can also yield a significant improvement. Melissa Aldana, for example, uses an Amsterdam Winds neck on her Selmer Super Balanced Action tenor. But also a new Selmer, Yamaha, Yanagisawa or other instrument can be upgraded to the Free Wind sound with the addition of an Amsterdam Winds neck.
