The Alto Saxophone is very much favoured to start with for beginners. The alto sax is heavily played in classical, jazz, big band, concert bands and commercial and is an instrument as well as being the lead voice in a lot of other music from funk to classical chamber music.
The alto saxophone is slightly smaller than the tenor and looks and sounds as youd expect a saxophone to. Compared with the tenor it is lighter, slightly quieter, takes less puff, less finger stretching.
The alto saxophone is the best type of saxophone for beginners because they are the most common. When you are starting out on your alto saxophone journey, you'll need to become familiar with the sound of the saxophone by listening to music, especially jazz, and you're most likely to hear an alto saxophone.

Its hardly surprising that, with over 50 years experience and having listened to the wants of countless high profile musicians, this master craftsman is one of the most sought after custom brass and woodwind builders in the world.
At Odyssey, we recognise the significant contribution that an instrument makes to the willingness of a student to persevere, practice, pursue the process of learning to control and master the instrument, enjoy making music and progress. With this in mind all our Saxophone family have been tested in France at BG and fitted with the Best BG Ligatures possible for each instrument.
