Entry into the world of alto saxophones

An alto saxophone for beginners is considered to be particularly good if it offers good sound dynamics and rests comfortably in your hands. The Thomann "Antique" alto saxophone definitely fulfils these criteria and also scores points with an extremely good price-performance ratio. This saxophone also makes a convincing case thanks to a balanced intonation in all registers, a very good response, and a warm sound rich in overtones. The body, S-bow, and mechanism are made of brass and have been given an antique finish. An adjustable thumb rest, meanwhile, ensures enhanced playing comfort. In addition to the instrument, the scope of delivery includes a case, a mouthpiece, and a strap. This bundle additionally includes a set of care utensils and a set of useful accessories as well as a stand and a pack of reeds.

Closeup of the Thomann Antique Alto Saxophone

Eb-compatible notation required

The Eb alto saxophone is part of the saxophone family, the other main members of which are the soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone, and baritone saxophone. The term "alto" stands for the vocal range. The Eb alto saxophone is a transposing instrument, which means that a C played on this saxophone corresponds to an Eb on the piano or the guitar. The C played on an Eb alto saxophone therefore always sounds a major sixth lower. This is why notes for instruments in C tuning are not compatible with Eb alto saxophones (separate notation is available, however).

Ideal for popular styles of music

A beginner's saxophone should be designed in a manner that enables well-intonated and dynamic playing in all registers. The intonation possibilities shouldn’t be too extensive, but they should not be too limited either. The mechanism has to be smooth, and the valves should be easy to operate. The Thomann "Antique" saxophone fulfils all of these requirements and therefore represents a good starting point. Whether you are a beginner or coming to the Eb alto sax from another instrument, you will be very well served by the Thomann "Antique" saxophone thanks to its convincing price-performance ratio. But this alto saxophone can also be used as an affordable back-up instrument. Thanks to its warm sound rich in overtones, it is particularly interesting for popular music styles.
