Kirk Whalum’s Signature Tenor Sax Neck While smooth jazz is often the domain of the soprano or alto saxophone, Kirk Whalum has charted his own stylistic path with his gospel-soaked, big-toned tenor. The eclectic band leader and first-call sideman — a Grammy winner with multiple nominations to his name — has many fans here at Sweetwater. Whalum has long favored P. Mauriat PMXT-66R Series tenors. If you aspire to incorporate a measure of Whalum’s rich, warm sound into your own music, one of these world-class horns is a great place to start. And adding the signature P. Mauriat Kirk Whalum Tenor Saxophone Neck to your setup will help get you even closer!P.
