If you love the vintage vibe but need the reliability of a modern horn, this baritone is for you!

Following the huge success of the tenor and alto releases, the baritone 52nd St hits the scene and builds on all the same qualities and innovations that have come before it:  there is that classic warm and vintage sound; incredible ergonomics and key action; a more lightweight design – surely a bonus for all you baritone players out there!

Although this is the first baritone release, this is now the second generation of 52nd Street saxes.  And Eastman has now taken things up a notch and refined many aspects of the design and its performance.  The new models are significantly lighter, and this is achieved by using thinner, but harder, brass.  The benefits are that the sax responds more instantly and at the same time there is a greater clarity of tone with a more defined core.  Beyond this Eastman has made quite a few ergonomic and design changes to optimize the playing experience.  The good news is that the same basic identity of the 52nd Street remains, which is to say that it has a big fat vintage sound, full of character and with great intonation to boot.

Design Upgrades and Features

The 52nd Street baritone features rolled-tone holes throughout, giving added warmth and increased response.  Beyond the first generation of instruments for alto and tenor, the entirety of the keywork has been re-positioned to suit both large and small hands! This includes a reduction in the size of the table key block, which is now narrower and sleeker in design.  The bell-to-body brace is now a two-point ring rather than three points.  The tenon clamp is heavy-mass and has been specially designed to provide a perfect and completely tight fit, essential for transmitting seamless airflow from the neck into the body.  In terms of the set-up materials there has been an upgrade of pads, felts, and corks, all adding to the quality of the build and ensuring longevity between services.

Sound

As mentioned, Eastman has sourced a different brass material that has allowed them to make a decent weight saving – by way of comparison, this baritone weighs 4.3 kilos whereas a YBS-62 weighs 4.45 kilos.  Okay, this is only 150 grams or just under 4%, but every little helps!  The brass is now thinner and harder, offering a greater degree of core tone, but still retaining the depth and fullness of the previous model.  They have even included a steel wire in the bell, as was used in pre–World War II instruments and this is thought to add a certain sparkle to the sound.  The intonation has been tweaked and refined, from bottom to top.  Overall, the tonal quality that the 52nd offers is akin to those classic vintage American horns, like the famous Conn 12M baritone.  Think big, full-bodied, with plenty of core and center.  Due to the bore structure, it has also been designed to be incredibly free-blowing and efficient with airflow – another win for the baritone player!

Reviews

“Having just got off the back of a video review for this baritone I really am buzzing about this instrument.  For me (really, someone who just picks up a bari as and when it is needed) I’m looking for an instrument that works straight off the bat – that means it must respond easily up and down the full range, be in tune, have a great sound and have playable keywork.  This bari has all of this in abundance!  Particularly satisfying to me is the ease of key action – it’s light and low and you just don’t have to do battle with the horn, everything just pops out with fluidity the first time of trying.

I was surprised to find out that the tuning position for the mouthpiece I used to trial it (Burnin baritone) needed to be 95% down the cork, but when I achieved this position (with a little cork sanding) the intonation popped out pretty much perfectly up and down the full range.

We first heard about these 52nd St horns some years ago through meeting Bob Mintzer at the NAMM show – I can see why he raved about them at the time, and why he is even more enamored now that Eastman has continued to innovate and improve the designs!”

Nice simple effective inexpensive watch
Color: Black, Size: One Size
I just ordered my second one of these. They are cheap, keep good time, show me the date, and last a long time. My last one lasted over 10 years. The only thing wrong with the last one was that the battery needed replacement (I think it was only the second time it had needed a battery in all the years I had owned it) at the same time the band wore out and broke. Rather than buy a new battery plus a new band, I just got a new one. I am hard on watches, and this one stood up very well. I regularly shower and swim with it on, and no problems. It doesn't have a lot of functions I don't need, like stopwatch, multiple time zones, etc. I have found those things more of a bother than a benefit, because any time you bump the knob against something, the display changes and you're always pressing all the buttons multiple times just to get the simple info needed- like what time is it and what is the date DEC 2020 UPDATE - I am ordering another one of these. The last one, I bought in mid 2019. Early in 2020, the date function quit working. By the end of November, the whole thing quit working. I know it's not the battery, because the light still works. So I am reducing my review by one star, and we'll see how well a new one does. The watch before the current one lasted about 10 years, so getting only a little over a year out of the current one is not good. Perhaps the current one just wasn't as good as the previous ones. It's entirely possible that they keep making the same watch out of lesser and lesser materials and workmanship.

Timex. Life is ticking.
Color: Black, Size: One Size
A family member is headed off to Navy boot camp and is required to have a watch-a black watch. But...it cannot be anything in the realm of, be like, or indeed be an Apple Watch. The search began for a simple timepiece. Economy was important since after the 8 weeks of boot camp ended, use of the current watch would be resumed. Enter Timex...(the world's largest manufacturer of watches and mechanical time fuses). During the Amazon search there were all manner of economically (actually cheap) watches noted to be available, so many that it was simply overwhelming. Timex...tried and true since 1854 (just a fun fact, but actually attests to the quality of the company) was the chosen one. A simple but reliable timepiece was required, and certain qualifications were needed. First, it had to be an accurate time keeper and have a second hand, and have a date indicator. Secondly, there had to be an element of water resistance (this is Navy boot camp after all, so water is important!). Thirdly, it had to be black. Fourth, no bells or whistles whatsoever. Finally, a face with 24 hour/military time would be a bonus. This Timex Rugged Core Expedition Analog Watch fit the bill. Upon arrival it was packaged in a traditionally square box the size of the watch, no frills but sturdy enough to ward off damage during shipping. Once opened the first thing noticed was the face of the watch. It was black, with white numerals in both standard and 24 hour/military time, had a red second hand, luminescent hour and minute hands, and date indicator. The nylon band was also black, had ridges, and had a fastener like a belt. At the end of the band were two extrusions which seemed to lock the excess band into place once it was fastened. After wearing a number of days, the watch has kept excellent time matching the Apple Watch. Both watches were worn on the same arm at the same during the day and during sleep. They were worn during regular daily activities, during exercise and during strenuous garden work such as hauling, digging holes, dragging 40 lb bags, etc. Time was checked multiple times per day, and the time on each watch was exactly the same every time checked. The Timex was water resistant during a 5 minute shower and while submerged water. This is not a dive watch but, according to the ad, is water resistant to 50 feet for light swimming. The performance of this watch has been more than satisfactory executing in stellar fashion everything it was stated to be able to do. I can recommend this watch for boot camp purposes without reservation. Top 3 Likes: -Reliable keeping accurate time, has military time numerals -Is water resistant as tested -Is black, attractive with luminescent hands, second hand, date, and light up face Top 3 Dislikes: -The band is stiff and somewhat difficult to latch -The two little extrusions do anchor the band, but are difficult to undo to take off the watch -Only two dislikes!

Timesx quality still rules.
Color: Black, Size: One Size
Excellent everyday watch. Stylish, easy to read, and accurate. Needed a knock around watch and this puts up with it's share of abuse. It's a bit more expensive than some others in this class, but Timex is well-worth the money in quality. I use mine for eveything except when I need something more formal.

Dependability and accuracy
Color: Black, Size: One Size
This watch is awful, I had it for a month and it lags behind and does not keep the right date. I am a nurse so I need to have accuracy and dependability and this watch is not it.
