The Alphasax student saxophone is an innovation from the Trevor James team and has been specifically designed for smaller players who are unable to handle the weight and reach of the standard alto saxophone. This unique and great value-for-money instrument is recommended by teachers and has proven to be the ideal stepping stone between a recorder and an alto sax.
Tailor-made for smaller hands, the Alphasax plays a pivotal role in unleashing the uncharted musical horizons of budding talents. Now students no longer need to wait until they’re older before they start learning. This instrument is crafted around the original tube of the standard Eb, with a full two octave chromatic facility. The new mechanism has allowed Trevor James to maintain the finger positioning of a normal saxophone, enabling players to learn the instrument using current study books, so they can easily advance to another size once they are ready. Plus, it features a short reach mechanism, redesigned keys for extra comfort and a 33% weight reduction, leaving it at an impressive 1.86kg!
The omitted keys (LH palm keys for Top D#, E and F / low B & Bb keys / RH side F# keys & side C key) sit at the boundaries of the instruments range and are not generally essential until later learning stages – The Alphasax sounds and feels just like a standard saxophone. For further increased playability the top D key has been adjusted to fit small hands and the G#, low C#, D# and C keys have been made easier to reach.
The Alphasax still retains a full chromatic range from low C to high D and the featured high quality pads and metal reflectors offer a reliable seal that provides excellent intonation, adding to the instruments quality tone.
