Description
Black nickel, silver keys, and ten reeds in the box.
Dark, glossy black nickel against bright silver keys. It's a striking alto, and it comes as a complete starter set: case, ten reeds, strap, gloves, cleaning cloths and brush, so you can start practising as soon as it arrives.
Why you'll love it
- Black nickel and silver. Black nickel plating over a brass body, with silver-tone keys.
- Comfortable keys. Faux mother-of-pearl key touches on an ergonomic key layout.
- Polished brass neck. The inside of the curved neck is sanded and polished for a smooth airflow.
- Waterproof leather pads and a high F# key. The pads and key set listed by the maker.
- Ten reeds included. Spares for your first weeks, so a split reed never stops a session.
Good to know
- The maker doesn't state the strength of the reeds. New to the saxophone? Softer reeds (strength 1.5 or 2) make your first notes much easier than the harder reeds many kits come with.
- Before you play, check under the keys for any small cork or foam wedges. They protect the pads in transit and must come out, or some notes won't sound.

Questions before you buy
Do I need anything else to play?
Everything that comes with it is listed on this page, item by item. If reeds aren't in the list, add a few soft ones (strength 1.5 or 2) to your order.
Can I send it back?
Yes. You have 30 days from delivery to change your mind and return it for a full refund. Our returns policy explains how.
What does the warranty cover?
3 years from delivery against faults in materials and workmanship. If something goes wrong with normal use, we repair it, replace it or refund you. Normal wear (reeds, pads and corks) and accidental damage are not covered.
When will it arrive?
Delivery to the UK is free, and your estimated delivery date is shown just above the Add to basket button.
Which reed should I start with?
A soft one: strength 1.5 or 2. Hard reeds are the main reason beginners think they can't play.
Will the neighbours hear me?
An acoustic saxophone is loud, so practise at sensible hours. For late evenings, our electric saxophones play silently through headphones.
