For the USA, approximately 330 standard altos, 90 limited altos, and 50 limited tenors were made. The tenor was limited edition only, with the honey gold lacquer. The standard alto had the same honey gold lacquer as the previous Hummingbird series, but the limited edition had the darker lacquer normally seen on the Reference altos. This one again started with a Reference 54 alto, in standard and limited, as well as a new Reference 54 tenor sax. The second series was the Kookaburra, coming in 2006.

Approximately 300 of the standard were made for the USA market, and only about 70 of the limited model. The standard and limited models both featured honey gold lacquer (similar to the traditional tenor Reference 36 color). Within each series, there was a "standard" model and a "limited edition" model, with the limited often having more detailed engraving, and unique included accessories, and sometimes a special case as well.Ĭoming first in 2005, the Hummingbird series was available as a Reference 54 alto sax. A total of 5 series were produced over 7 years, each with unique engraving.
