Wisemann Junior Alto Saxophone
The Wisemann Junior Alto Saxophone is an alto sax designed with young beginners and smaller players in mind. Its tenor-sax-style neck brings the instrument closer to the player’s body and allows it to sit lower making for a more comfortable head position. The keywork has been designed for small hands. (See images). The body and keys are made of the same high quality brass as all other Wisemann instruments and the intonation is great.
The range is the same as the standard Alto Sax: low Bb to high F#. There are no “missing” keys and the tone is full and rich. Players of smaller stature would be quite happy to continue with this instrument as adults.
