ODYSSEY OAS-700SVR Alto Saxophone

Description

This Alto Sax is ideal for beginners due to its relatively  small body which is comfortable to hold.  The combination of this instrument’s size and range makes it an extremely versatile and popular choice. This instrument has been designed with affordability, durability and comfort in mind. The  body is fully brace d for strength helping it stand up to the demands of regular play and transport to and from lessons. The  adjustable thumb rest, bell joint, neck and stack adjusting screws can be used to make the set-up more comfortable. The saxophone’s Rose brass body is finished with a protective lacquer. 

All models in the Odyssey range of high quality brass band and orchestral instruments have been meticulously designed down to the finest details by Peter Pollard. It’s hardly surprising that, with over 50 years experience and having listened to the ‘wants’ of countless high profile musicians, this master craftsman is one of the most sought after custom brass and woodwind builders in the world. Red  Brass, also known as  Rose brass has the highest copper content at around 90% and gives a warmer and mellower tone than that of alloys with a higher zinc content. With a luscious Rose brass lacquered body, bell and neck offset with clear lacquered parts, the aesthetics of the ‘Eb’ Alto Saxophone from the Odyssey Premiere Series speak for themselves. A stunning looker! 

Blue steel springs provide a  robust and durable  action and give a brightness and snap to the instrument’s sound whilst domed reflectors aid projection. This Alto Sax has a light, free blowing response that will reward new players with excellent intonation and a stability and evenness throughout the registers. Precision drawn tone holes allow maximum air passage through the instrument.  An auxiliary high F# key provides extra versatility. These features make it easy for students to start seeing results fast.  

As a company producing some of the world’s finest brasswind instruments, Odyssey recognise the fact that protection whilst travelling with a delicate instrument is paramount. To ensure players can maintain a high standard with this instrument Odyssey has included gloves, cleaning cloth, cork grease and neck sling. A plush lined, Zero-gravity ‘backpack’ hard foam, canvas covered case with shoulder straps takes all the worry out of commuting with such a delicate instrument.
