Ready for your musical journey
The BetterSax Classic Alto comes with all the standard features a developing player needs. It's built with a post-to-body construction, making it lighter in weight and reducing resistance — this is especially important for anyone developing their sound, as you’ll want a horn that’s comfortable to hold, free blowing, and easy to play. The BetterSax alto saxophone also comes with a premium case that’ll protect your valuable instrument and store all the accessories you need. With the addition of the high F# key and an adjustable thumb rest, you’ll have an instrument that will carry you well throughout your musical journey.
Professional look and feel
One of the first things we noticed about the BetterSax alto at Sweetwater is its striking look. Players will observe the dark cognac lacquer, giving off a vintage look. You’ll also spot the underslung octave key on the neck, which is inspired by vintage King saxophones and Elite Series Yanagisawa horns.
Top-shelf features
But looks aren’t everything, which is why the BetterSax includes pro-level features that satisfy even demanding players. The bore is modeled after a top-level pro saxophone, giving it a rich, focused sound with super-tight intonation. Of course, none of that matters if the keys feel mushy under your fingers. That's why this sax is equipped with blue steel springs and Pisoni metal resonator pads, which add to the pro-level feel.
