Most students start
with alto saxophone, as it requires less air than a
tenor or baritone sax. Also, its compact size better
fits the hands of the younger student, and it is a
less costly instrument. However, it is possible for a
student to start on tenor or baritone as their first
instrument if they have the wind and hand size
required.
First
Saxophones
Our selection of first saxophones features superior
epoxy lacquer finish and power forged keys for
durability, excellent intonation, and key placement
designed with a younger students hand size in mind.

These Saxophones feature epoxy lacquer finish on body
and keys for extended durability, adjustable key guard
felts for excellent intonation, front F and F# keys
for more alternate fingering, and tapered pivot screws
for smoother action.
Maintenance
Maintenance and care are the most important factors in
maintaining the playability and longevity of your
instrument.
Moisture is one of the
main factors in saxophone failure. It causes
deterioration of the pads as well as providing the
perfect environment for germs and bacteria to
flourish. Swabbing and the use of pad savers are the
best preventative medicine for this problem.
Mouthpieces
Saxophone mouthpieces vary in width of tip opening,
bore size, baffle (floor thickness), and material. All
combine to vary the amount of air and control required
loudness, and tone color.
Mouthpieces for first
saxophones are designed for ease of playing and
controllability for the student. Upper level
mouthpieces are tailored to the needs and skills of
the more advanced player.
Ligatures
The design, style, and material of the ligature (which
holds the reed on the mouthpiece) will affect the
responsiveness and tonal characteristics of the
instrument. A basic metal ligature is recommended for
a first saxophone, while more advanced students
experiment with ligature and mouthpiece combinations
to find their preferred sound.
