outstanding innovation
Try telling this child she has to wait!! The saxophone is one of the most popular musical instruments around today, and features in many high profile bands. Until this moment, a new generation of potential musicians have been denied the opportunity to learn the instrument, based solely around their age and size! How many budding new jazz, rock and classical players have been lost as a result of being told "you'll have to wait!"
The challenge was to design and manufacture an alto saxophone that would meet the needs of the smaller and younger players currently unable to learn to play the instrument, due to weight and hand positioning issues.
To enable future progression on the saxophone it was also essential that any new design would also fit in with established instrumental teaching publications by retaining fundamental fingerings and instrumental key of Eb.
Designed in London, UK, the revolutionary new Alphasax by Trevor James - with close cooperation of saxophone teachers, players and parents, has solved all the issues and now offers the opportunity to young players to fulfil their dream of learning to play the saxophone.....NOW! It also enables the parent and music teacher to capture the enthusiasm and gives a 'heads up' year or two musical and AB Grade advantage ready for when the young player eventually transfers to a standard (and heavier) alto sax.
