Trevor James 371A Alphasax

Trevor James 371A Alphasax.

The Trevor James Alphasax alto saxophone is designed for smaller beginners to start sax on. Its reduced amount of keywork (the keys which have been omitted from the design are not required until about grade 3) makes it approximately 1/3 lighter than a standard alto sax. The major difference, however, is that there is only one palm key which means that young students cannot accidentally lean on the keys, a common problem with young starters. Ideal for the 7 – 11 age-group.

The included synthetic reed is tougher and longer-lasting than a cane reed.
