Description

McNeela Antique Finish Beginner Alto Saxophone Set 

Delivering an incredible twist on our typical alto saxophones, the McNeela Antique Finish Alto Saxophone stands out for beginners with its distinctive, durable design. This saxophone boasts a vibrant antique brass finish, enhanced with some intricately carved patterns, providing a distinctive flair that elevates it from its more conventional designs while enhancing its warm, resonant sound.

Designed for easy playability, this alto saxophone ensures a comfortable playing experience thanks to its responsive nature and smooth blowing mechanism. Its lightweight build and manageable size make it an excellent option for young or novice musicians who are looking to learn the saxophone for the first time.

Versatile across genres, from classical to jazz and traditional music, this unique Alto Sax is poised to be a faithful musical companion on any journey.

Key Features of The McNeela Antique Finish Beginner Alto Saxophone Set

  • Antique brass finish with carved pattern for a distinct appearance
  • Pearlescent keys for a smooth, comfortable touch
  • Rich, full tone with easy playing response
  • High F# auxiliary key for extended musical expression

  • Includes a durable protective soft case

Note: Stand is not included in the set.

The Difference Between Alto Saxophones & Tenor Saxophones:

The most obvious difference between the two instruments is their size. The alto sax is smaller and lighter than the tenor sax. As a result, the alto sax produces a higher, brighter sound, while the tenor saxophone has a deeper, more mellow tone:

  • Alto sax range: Alto saxophones are in the key of Eb. The range of the alto sax in concert pitch is Db3 to Ab5
  • Tenor sax range: Tenor saxophones are in the key of Bb. The range of the tenor sax in concert pitch is Ab2 to E5

Due to its smaller size, the alto saxophone is the perfect choice for young beginner musicians. It’s well suited for smaller hands, requiring less of a stretch for the fingers, and it’s also usually much more lightweight than its tenor counterpart, requiring less airflow.

The alto saxophone is the solo instrument of choice for classical music, while the tenor saxophone is arguably the most popular solo instrument for jazz musicians.

Your Alto Sax Adventure Begins Here, Let Us Lead The Way:

The McNeela Beginner Alto Saxophone is the perfect instrument to help you get started on your musical journey. Designed with playability, durability and affordability in mind, it's guaranteed to help you play your first notes with confidence. This beginner friendly instrument facilitates maximum airflow with zero leakage, offering an even, balanced performance throughout all registers, and good intonation. With this alto sax in hand you'll see results in no time at all!

The instrument's smooth response and bright clear tone are well matched by its sleek gold lacquer finish. In addition to giving the saxophone its characteristic traditional good looks, the gold lacquer will protect the brass from surface corrosion, as well as minor scratches, ensuring your sax stays looking like new for as long as possible.
