Antigua Winds makes quality musical instruments that are priced to be accessible to everyone. In this spirit, the Libretto by Antigua series of wind instruments for beginners is crafted to exceed the needs of school music programs and to give budding musicians instruments with which they can grow.

Like all Antigua Winds, Libretto by Antigua instruments offer musicians quick response, precise intonation, wonderful tone, high quality design, and durable construction. Beginners especially can take pride in their Libretto by Antigua instruments while schools will find them eminently affordable.

Founded in 1991 by Fred Hoey—a performer, author, educator, and product designer with more than 100 musical compositions and method books under his name—Antigua provides affordable, high-quality wind instruments that make music more accessible to all aspiring musicians. To make this possible, Antigua Winds has invested in modern factories with cutting edge equipment where premium materials are shaped to the designs of instrument engineering experts. Instrument development never stops at Antigua Winds, and that is how the Libretto by Antigua series came about.

Designed for beginners, but meant to be the highest quality instruments in their class, Libretto by Antigua instruments include a C flute, Bb clarinet, Eb alto saxophone, Bb trumpet, and a Bb trombone.

The Libretto by Antigua C Flute features a silver-plated nickel silver headjoint, body, and foot joint. Its forged nickel silver keys are covered with silver plate for durability and smooth operation. Other features include Plateau keys, an offset G key, and a C footjoint. Each Libretto by Antigua flute is delivered in a protective Cordura-covered case.

The Libretto by Antigua Bb Clarinet offers novice musicians a sturdy ABS body–impervious to moisture and temperature changes and resistant to cracks—with a handsome nickel silver ring on the bell. Its forged nickel silver keys have an electroplated finish that is made to last under classroom conditions. Each Libretto by Antigua clarinet gets its own Cordura-covered case for protection.

The Libretto by Antigua Eb Alto Saxophone's yellow brass body has been given a vintage gold-toned lacquer finish for stunningly good looks. It features a high F# key, and an articulated low C# key. The saxophone's tilting low Bb spatula, and metal thumb hook help make it manageable to budding musicians. The sax' premium leather pads contribute to its durability while the included Cordura-covered case keeps it protected when not in use.

A clear lacquer finish on its yellow brass body protects the Libretto by Antigua Bb Trumpet. Its pistons are shaped from durable stainless steel. The mouthpiece is red brass to enhance sound projection. The first valve is equipped with a slide thumb hook and the adjustable third valve has its own slide ring. A protective Cordura case keeps the Libretto trumpet safe between performances.

Finally the Libretto by Antigua Bb Trombone will make any young musician proud with its nickel silver trimmed yellow brass bell. The trombone's hand-slide tubing is nickel silver with a clear lacquer finish for looks that hold up under extensive use. Antigua includes a Cordura-covered case for your Bb trombone's protection.
