Discover the Award-Winning Alphasax: The Ultimate Saxophone for Young & Smaller Players
Recipient of the prestigious UK Music Industry Association award for 'Best Woodwind & Brass Instrument of the Year,' the Alphasax is a true game-changer in the world of saxophones!
Innovative Design
The Alphasax seamlessly integrates the body tubing of the acclaimed TJ alto saxophone with a revolutionary reimagining of its mechanism and tone hole placement. This groundbreaking approach ensures that young, aspiring saxophonists no longer have to "wait until they grow bigger" to start playing.
Unmatched Features
- Enhanced Comfort: Problematic keys with long finger stretches have been removed or redesigned, making the Alphasax exceptionally comfortable to play.
- Lightweight: The Alphasax is 33% lighter than traditional models, making it easier for smaller players to handle.
- Advanced Key Mechanism: The Alphasax, in the key of Eb, offers a full two-octave chromatic range with established finger positioning, allowing young saxophonists to use their current study books with ease. Our innovative mechanism ensures that the finger positioning remains consistent with a standard saxophone.
