Description
The D.C. Pro Series II (also referred to as DC Pro 2) is a line of saxophones often associated with Dominic’s Music (Boston) and marketed as a professional-style instrument at a more accessible price point compared to major heritage brands.
Key Specifications & Features
While exact technical specs can vary by specific model, the D.C. Pro Series II alto typically includes:
- Finish Options: Available in Gold Plating with a distinct pebble-textured body or standard gold lacquer.
- Key Touches: Often features Abalone key touches.
- Range: Standard range includes a High F# key.
- Design: Features an extra-wide bow for a fuller sound and easier emission of low notes.
- Mouthpiece: Usually ships with a Selmer USA or Vito II mouthpiece.
Market Performance & Value
- Price Range: Used or clearance models typically sell for between $650 and $1,100, depending on condition and finish.
- User Reputation: Players have noted that the instrument offers a rich, deep tone and plays well “top to bottom” for its price category.
- Comparison: It is often viewed as a “budget professional” or high-end student horn. It should not be confused with the high-end Selmer Paris Series II, which is a vastly more expensive industry standard.
