A Worthy Investment
Whether you're taking your first steps into the world of saxophone playing or hoping to take your playing to the next level, the McNeela premium sax will help you reach your goals in record time. Designed with playability, durability and affordability in mind, it makes playing a breeze - you'll want to pick up and play every day.
Designed to facilitate maximum airflow with zero leakage, it offers an even, balanced performance throughout all registers, and great intonation. With this superb alto sax in hand you'll be playing confidently in no time.
The McNeela Premium Sax's smooth response and bright clear tone are well matched by its sleek black nickel finish. In addition to giving the saxophone its distinctive good looks, the black nickel plating adds extra weight to the saxophone, producing a slightly darker tone than its gold lacquered brass counterpart, making it a worthy investment.
Alto Saxophone vs 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.
Everything You Need
The McNeela Premium Student Saxophone Set comes complete with a protective case, 10 reeds, mouthpiece cover, neck strap, cork grease, cleaning cloth and brush, polishing gloves, and even a digital tuner - everything you need to start making music straight away!
