Artemis Curved Soprano Sax
Yamaha
YSS-475ii
ideal for children too small to play a standard alto saxophone
These saxophones are ideal for children too small to play an Alphasax or alto sax. As you can see from the photograph, the look is the same with the curve both in the neck and the bell. However with the size difference, the weight is significantly reduced.
Though the positioning of the keys is identical to a standard alto sax, most small hands can reach to play the notes. Those in the furthest position, and therefore the most difficult to reach (typically bottom B and B flat) these are rarely used in entry-level music books so this doesn't tend to be a problem at an early stage.

All our instruments are tested prior to despatch and as standard come with all you need to get started:
All our saxes are supplied with a quality plastic mouthpiece or for the pro models, the relevant ebonite mouthpiece.
If you have a particular mouthpiece in mind, please contact us for further details and options, as we have a large stock of new and second hand plastic and ebonite mouthpieces and can offer different mouthpieces as hire accessories for a small extra cost per month.
