An affordable start on the alto saxophone
A good beginners’ alto saxophone is distinguished by the fact that it offers a wide range of dynamic sound possibilities and feels comfortable to hold. The Thomann SAS-75 fulfils these criteria and is currently one of the most affordable Eb saxophones on the market. This instrument impresses with its well-balanced intonation in every register, excellent response, and warm and centred sound. The body and valves are made of brass with a clear coating, and the scope of delivery includes a gig bag with backpack straps, a mouthpiece, a strap, and a cleaning cloth. This bundle additionally includes a set of care utensils and a set of useful accessories as well as a stand and a pack of reeds.

For those first notes on the saxophone
Thanks to its stable intonation in all registers and direct response, the SAS-75 is the perfect instrument for beginners. Worthy of mention is the saxophone’s adjustable thumb rest, which can be easily adapted to every hand shape and thus allows comfortable playing with the right hand. The metal resonators placed on leather pads support the saxophone’s clear and centred sound. An easily removable bell allows quick maintenance and repair in case of dents or other damage. With a mouthpiece that suits their musical style, players will easily be able to achieve the sound they desire, while the required tuning (440 to 443Hz) depends on how the mouthpiece is positioned on the bocal.
For a successful start
A saxophone for beginners should be designed in such a way that it can be played dynamically and with good intonation in all registers. The intonation possibilities shouldn't be too extensive, but they should not be too limited either. The SAS-75, which was built for beginners and those switching from a different instrument, fulfils these criteria and is thus suitable for a successful start. Whether they are a beginner or coming to the Eb saxophone from another instrument, players will be making a good choice with the SAS-75 thanks to its price-performance ratio. It also is a great choice as an affordable backup instrument for woodwind players.

From entry model to open-air instrument
Until fairly recently, it was still hard to find a beginner’s alto sax that was both good AND affordable – but those days are thankfully over with the SAS-75, which Thomann has offered since 2006. Thanks to their pleasant playing feel and sound characteristics as well as their affordable price, Startone saxophones have become increasingly popular in recent years. With the SAS-75, players get a solid starter model that they can use in many musical fields. This alto saxophone is suitable for learning the instrument and can also be used as a second instrument during bad weather at open-air events. This affordable bundle includes all of the accessories users will require, so there is no need to worry about whether anything is missing.
In the spotlight: Eb alto saxophone
The Eb alto saxophone is part of the saxophone family, the other main members of which are the soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone, and baritone saxophone. The term "alto" stands for the vocal range. The Eb alto saxophone is a transposing instrument, which means that a C played on this saxophone corresponds to an Eb on the piano or the guitar. The C played on an Eb alto saxophone therefore always sounds a major sixth lower. This is why notes for instruments in C tuning are not compatible with Eb alto saxophones (separate notation is available, however).
