The Eb alto is the second smallest in the “big four” sax lineup and is famous for its expressive timbres and portable size. From smooth portamentos to sweltering solos, there’s no place this adaptable horn can’t sit in an arrangement. The alto’s distinctive curved shape and brass construction help produce a mellow tone for jazz and classical music. And for blues and rock, it can growl with the best of them.
The E flat alto saxophone is a transposing instrument, meaning that when a player reads a written C, the horn sounds an E flat a major sixth lower. It is the second-smallest member of the primary saxophone family, renowned for its expressive timbre, agility, and manageable size.
