Elkhart 100AS Student Alto Saxophone - Secondhand

Full Description

Learn with confidence

The Elkhart 100AS will give you the best possible start to learning the alto saxophone. When looking closer at the alto sax, you can really see the attention to detail. To help with durability, Elkhart have decided to rib mount the keys, compared to soldering them directly to the body. Usually only found on more expensive instruments, this small detail will ensure your new saxophone lasts for years to come. Instead of using a traditional brace, the 100AS has a lightweight tri-point brace which not only keeps the weight of the instrument down, but also ensures structural resilience.

When playing the Elkhart sax, you will realise how responsive and resonant it is. This is thanks to the one-piece bell and body that also provides better projection and adds brilliance to the tone. This is a fantastic instrument for the first time student or for a saxophonist who requires a quality second instrument on a budget.

Everything you need

Included with the Elkhart 100AS saxophone is a lightweight case. On the outside of the case you will find handles at the top and side, and even backpack straps at the back. There is also a large zipped compartment on the front of the case to store all of your sheet music. The inside of the case has been specifically moulded to fit the Elkhart 100AS alto saxophone. This moulded interior is then covered with a black soft touch fabric that won't damage the finish of your instrument. At the front of the case, you will find a large compartment which is ideal for storing your wax, pull-through, or any other accessories. Also included with the 100AS saxophone is a mouthpiece and ligature so you can start playing straightaway.
