This is not a defect but an inherent characteristic of unlacquered metal. The unlacquered surfaces of the JAS1100NBQ model may exhibit varying degrees of oxidation, influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. The resulting color inconsistencies are unique to your personal instrument, and along with the enhanced resonance, are typically viewed by those who prefer this approach as one of the desirable characteristics of an unlacquered saxophone. Please carefully consider whether this aesthetic, which will develop and evolve over time, is right for you before placing your order.
