The TREVOR JAMES Alphasax alto saxophone was designed to meet the needs of young or small musicians wishing to learn to play the saxophone. Trevor J. James' goal was to create a lighter, more compact, and more ergonomic instrument than traditional saxophones, so that young musicians can play with ease and confidence.
To reduce the weight of the instrument while maintaining the sound quality and features of a traditional alto saxophone, several factors were considered in the design of the Alphasax. The body of the instrument is made of brass, a durable and resistant material that offers beautiful sonority. The thickness of the body of the instrument has not been modified, but the weight has been reduced thanks to modified mechanics that allow the keys to be brought closer together, making the instrument more accessible to small hands.
Moreover, the TREVOR JAMES Alphasax alto saxophone has all the features of a traditional alto saxophone, with the same fingerings and notes. It offers excellent intonation, quick response, and professional-quality sound. The Alphasax is perfectly suited for beginner and intermediate players, who can thus learn to play the saxophone with the same methods as those used for traditional saxophones.
The new instrument has at least two chromatic octaves, which are more than sufficient for the first years of study. Some keys are inevitable on an alto saxophone, but others are hard to reach for small hands. Trevor J. James has made modifications to the instrument's mechanics to make the keys more accessible to young musicians.
In addition to being lighter and more compact than traditional saxophones, the TREVOR JAMES Alphasax alto saxophone also comes with a lightweight and easy-to-carry case. Young musicians can thus transport their instrument with ease and safety, to play anywhere and anytime.
In summary, the TREVOR JAMES Alphasax alto saxophone is a quality instrument, designed to meet the needs of young or small musicians wishing to learn to play the saxophone. It offers exceptional sound, quick response, optimal ergonomics, and ease of use for beginner and intermediate musicians. With the Alphasax, young musicians can finally feel comfortable and play with confidence, and never be limited by their size or age.
