Trevor J. James & Co. is a specialist woodwind company with a proven track record for developing their instruments in close cooperation with musicians and teachers worldwide. The 'Alphasax' is the latest in a line up of innovative designs!

This superb sounding alto has been specially design by Trevor James & Co for the younger/smaller beginner and the Alphasax is based around the original body tube of the award winning Trevor James Horn alto saxophone but is 33% lighter.

However, the Alphasax has a completely redesigned mechanism and tone hole positioning which ensures that this beautiful instrument looks and plays like a traditional alto.

The Alphasax in the key of Eb, with a full two octave chromatic facility using established finger positioning to enable the smaller player to learn the alto saxophone using current study books. A new and innovative mechanism has enabled the Alphasax to maintain the traditional fingering positioning of a normal saxophone but the keys are more compact to reflect smaller hands and problematic keys have been removed or redesigned for extra comfort.

At only 1.86kg in weight the revolutionary Alphasax saxophone is 33% lighter than the traditional alto saxophone.

A new lightweight (1.48kg) moulded case with backpack straps is included along with a padded neckt strap, mouthpiece, cap and single screw ligature. A Vandoren reed completes the package.
