P. Mauriat

P. Mauriat – saxophones with an individual character

P. Mauriat offers saxophones for different playing levels and musical applications. The range focuses on soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones and extends from more accessible models to instruments for professional jazz, pop, ensemble and orchestral use. A characteristic feature is the broad selection of construction concepts and finishes. Players can therefore choose not only by register and price level, but also according to response, resistance, bore, tone-hole construction and visual finish.

PMXR 66R and 67R with rolled tone holes

The PMXR models are among P. Mauriat’s distinctive professional instruments. PMXR 66R and 67R use rolled tone holes and are designed around an open, resonant playing character. Enlarged bores and generously dimensioned bells contribute to the characteristic concept of the series. These instruments can be especially interesting for players looking for a saxophone with a free response and strong projection while deliberately exploring an alternative to more conventional designs from established manufacturers.

System 76 – a classically inspired bore concept

The System 76 Series follows a different construction approach. Its bore is more closely inspired by classic French saxophone concepts and the instruments use drawn tone holes. This clearly distinguishes the series from PMXR models with rolled tone holes. The difference is relevant when choosing an instrument because tone-hole construction, bore and neck work together to shape playing feel and tonal direction. System 76 can therefore appeal to players who prefer a focused, controlled character based on a more traditional design concept.

185 Series and Le Bravo for developing players

With the 185 Series, P. Mauriat also covers instruments for beginners and advancing players. It provides access to the brand without immediately moving into the highest professional ranges. Le Bravo complements this area with additional soprano, alto, tenor and baritone models. For developing players, important selection criteria alongside sound include key ergonomics, response, intonation, weight and the quality of the supplied case.

Master-97 and Grand Dreams for demanding players

Master-97 and Grand Dreams extend the range towards demanding and professional applications. Here the focus is less on a universal beginner concept and more on a differentiated setup for experienced players. Anyone choosing an instrument in this class should compare different models directly wherever possible. With high-quality saxophones, differences in neck, bore, mechanism and finish can noticeably affect personal playing feel.

Venus 600CV with a high-copper alloy

With the Venus 600CV Series, P. Mauriat uses a distinctive material concept. The instruments are made from an alloy with a high copper content and therefore expand the choice beyond conventional brass constructions. This makes the series particularly interesting for players who want to compare different material and resonance concepts. The material should not, however, be considered in isolation: body, neck, mouthpiece, reed and personal playing technique all contribute to the final result.

Which P. Mauriat saxophone suits you?

The first decision concerns register. Alto saxophones are versatile and often a practical starting point, while tenor saxophones provide a lower and more powerful basic character. Soprano and baritone saxophones fulfil more specific roles in ensemble, jazz and pop. The next step is to compare the series: 185 and Le Bravo offer a more accessible entry, while PMXR, System 76, Master-97 and other professional ranges provide different tonal and construction priorities. With more advanced instruments in particular, personal play-testing should be an important part of the selection process.
