The Alto Saxophone ¯is very much favoured to start with for beginners and is heavily played in classical, jazz, big band, concert bands as well as being the lead voice in a lot of other music from funk to classical chamber music.¯ The alto saxophone is slightly smaller than the tenor and looks and sounds as you™d expect a saxophone to. Compared with the tenor sax it is lighter, slightly quieter, takes less puff and less finger stretching.
The ¯alto saxophone ¯is the best type of saxophone for beginners because they are the most common. When you are starting out on your ¯alto saxophone ¯journey, you'll need to become familiar with the sound of the saxophone by listening to music, especially jazz, and you're most likely to hear the alto saxophone.
At Odyssey, we recognise the significant contribution that an instrument makes to the willingness of a student to persevere, practice, pursue the process of learning to control and master the instrument, enjoy making music and progress.
With a luscious polished brass lacquered body, offset with clear lacquered parts, the aesthetics of the 'Eb' Alto Saxophone from the Odyssey Debut Series speak for themselves.
Reliable Beginners Instrument
This Alto Sax is ideal for ¯beginners due to its relatively ¯small body ¯which is comfortable to hold. ¯The combination of the instruments size and range makes it extremely versatile and a popular choice.
Strong & Durable Body
Having been designed with affordability, durability and comfort in mind, the ¯body is fully braced ¯for strength helping it stand up to the demands of regular play and transport to and from lessons. The bell joint, neck and stack adjusting screws can be used to make the set-up more comfortable. The saxophone's brass body is also finished with a protective lacquer.
Smooth Response & Tone
Blue steel springs provide a ¯robust and durable ¯action and give a brightness and snap to the instrument's sound whilst domed reflectors aid projection. This Alto Sax has a light, free blowing response that will reward new players with excellent intonation and a stability and evenness throughout the registers. Precision drawn tone holes allow maximum air passage through the instrument. ¯An auxiliary high F# key provides extra versatility. These features make it easy for students to start seeing results fast.¯
