I had to admit, I hadn&#8217;t. Since I haven&#8217;t been actively teaching since I became ill, I have lost complete touch with what&#8217;s going on in the student sax world.<\/p>\n<p>So I Googled Alphasax, and came upon <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alphasax.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">their web page<\/a>. According to the company, Alphasax is: &#8220;The unique alto sax designed for the younger or smaller player&#8221;. The company goes on to say&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The challenge was to design and manufacture an alto saxophone that would meet the needs of the smaller and younger players currently unable to learn to play the instrument, due to weight and hand positioning issues.<\/p>\n<p>To enable future progression on the saxophone it was also essential that any new design would also fit in with established instrumental teaching publications by retaining fundamental fingerings and instrumental key of Eb.<\/p>\n<p>Designed in London, UK, the revolutionary new Alphasax by Trevor James &#8211; with close cooperation of saxophone teachers, players and parents, has solved all the issues and now offers the opportunity to young players to fulfil their dream of learning to play the saxophone&#8230;..NOW! It also enables the parent and music teacher to capture the enthusiasm and gives a &#8216;heads up&#8217; year or two musical and AB Grade advantage ready for when the young player eventually transfers to a standard (and heavier) alto sax.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/Pink-Alpha.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-14054\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"14054\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/2009\/the-new-wave-of-student-model-saxes\/pink-alpha\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/Pink-Alpha.gif?fit=741%2C1181&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"741,1181\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;16&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Brian Chantler&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 40D&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1236631086&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;27&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.2&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Pink Alpha\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/Pink-Alpha.gif?fit=500%2C796&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14054\" title=\"Pink Alpha\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/Pink-Alpha-500x796.jpg?resize=500%2C796\" alt=\"Pink Alpha\" width=\"500\" height=\"796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/Pink-Alpha.gif?resize=500%2C796&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/Pink-Alpha.gif?resize=188%2C300&amp;ssl=1 188w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/Pink-Alpha.gif?w=741&amp;ssl=1 741w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Source: alphasax.co.uk<\/h6>\n<p>In the above photo of the prototype pink Alphasax with the silver coloured keys, you&#8217;ll notice there are some keys missing. The company did some very interesting research in &#8217;07 &amp;&#8217;08, and came up with the following factors that went into their design:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They wanted to aim their new saxophone at anyone over the\u00a0age of 7 who has been told that they are too small to play the conventional alto saxophone;<\/li>\n<li>Any new saxophone they designed needed to look like a regular\u00a0alto;<\/li>\n<li>The weight of the horn needed to be reduced by\u00a01\/3, but the thickness of the bodytube needed to be preserved in order to maintain the tonal characteristics of a regular alto sax;<\/li>\n<li>The saxophone needed to have a minimum of a 2 octave chromatic range. Their research indicated that during the first couple of years of playing, students weren&#8217;t required to travel outside of this range of the horn;<\/li>\n<li>Because small hands found it difficult to reach certain keys on the conventional alto, while other keys were almost impossible to avoid, the instrument was nearly unplayable for these beginning students. In order to overcome this, the company redesigned the mechanisms to ensure that smaller fingers could reach the keys; thereby also reducing the weight of the horn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In order to address the issues raised by this research, the company that designed Alphasax based the body tube on that of the Trevor James &#8220;Horn&#8221; alto saxophone, with redesigned mechanisms and tone hole positioning. Besides the weight difference, this is how Alphasax describes the differences between their horn, and a conventional alto saxophone:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>The left hand palm keys for top D#, E and F have been removed.<\/li>\n<li>The top D key has been adjusted to fit small hands.<\/li>\n<li>The low B &amp; Bb keys have been removed.<\/li>\n<li>Redesigned G# and low C# keys are now easier to reach.<\/li>\n<li>The right hand side F# keys and side C key have been removed.<\/li>\n<li>Redesigned low D# and C keys are now easier to reach.<\/li>\n<li>The Alphasax\u2122 retains a fully chromatic range from low C to high D.<\/li>\n<li>Bb bis and side Bb keys are retained<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is an interesting product, reminiscent of the <a href=\"http:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/?p=1486\" target=\"_self\">Buescher Academy series saxophones<\/a>, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/themartinstory.net\/version7\/models-home.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Martin Home Series<\/a>. Both of these vintage,\u00a0limited-range saxophones fared quite poorly. However, they were quite different to these new Alphasaxes, and not really all that\u00a0comparable.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/satb2727b.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buescher Academy saxes<\/a>, while available in soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone flavours, were restricted to playing in the key of C. No chromatics available. The <a href=\"http:\/\/themartinstory.net\/version7\/models\/Home%20Model-112047-Cmelody-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Martin Home Series<\/a> was a\u00a0C melody saxophone\u00a0minus the extra keywork, and only played to from C1 to C3.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see if the Alphasax catches on. With the youth of today being much larger than they were just 1 generation ago, I&#8217;m not convinced that this product will fare well. However, I am looking at this through a pretty ethnocentric lens. Perhaps in other parts of the world where the youth haven&#8217;t undergone this enormous growth spurt, this new product will do well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A friend of mine asked me the other day if I had heard of these new student saxes called Alphasax.
