These bamboo saxophones are unique instruments, originally designed and created by Sunreed Instruments. A traditional saxophone mouthpiece, fused onto a piece of bamboo, gives these instruments an incredibly sax-like sound enjoyed by novice & experienced alike. These instruments are being used by a wide variety of professional musicians, including a Grammy Award winning saxophonist.

If you have never played a saxophone, and always wanted to learn, now is your chance. Not only are these economically priced, you will find them a simpler instrument to learn on. They have one full octave of range, and are fully chromatic (play all sharps and flats). They have an upper range available at an octave and a half.

This concert-quality bamboo saxophone comes pitched in the keys of F, E, Eb (the traditional pitch of an alto sax), and D, and range in length from 19 through 24 inches, respectively. Because of the physical acoustics of reeded instruments, these instruments play one octave lower than you would expect an instrument of this size to play. Because they play in the fundamental (lower) range, they will sound lower than their "parent" instrument, which most often play in the upper range.

These concert-quality saxophones come complete with new mouthpiece (alto), reed, cap, ligature (holds reed in place), warranty, songbook, and instructions. A protective bag is also included.
