Eastman EAS453 Gold Lacquer Alto Saxophone
The Eastman EAS453 Gold Lacquer Alto Saxophone is an intermediate saxophone designed for the advancing player who is ready for greater tonal depth, response and flexibility. Its design draws on Eastman’s professional saxophone range, giving the developing musician an instrument capable of supporting increasingly demanding repertoire.
Rich, Responsive Sound
The EAS453 offers a full, centred tone with an easy and responsive playing feel. As players progress, they need an instrument that gives them greater control over dynamics, articulation and tone colour, while responding consistently throughout the range.
The EAS453 provides the flexibility needed for developing musicians to explore their sound while maintaining good projection and tonal stability.
Designed for the Advancing Player
Finished in gold lacquer, the EAS453 features a high F# key and adjustable thumb rest, together with adjustment screws for both the left- and right-hand key sections.
The comfortable keywork and responsive mechanism make it a natural step up for players who have begun to outgrow their student saxophone and are looking for an instrument that can support the next stage of their musical development.
Compare Before You Choose
Intermediate saxophones can vary considerably in tone, response, resistance and feel, even when their specifications and prices appear similar.
At Tempest Music, we recommend play-testing the Eastman EAS453 alongside other intermediate alto saxophones within your budget. Keep an open mind about brands and listen carefully to the differences each instrument produces.
The best saxophone is not necessarily the most expensive or the most familiar brand. It is the instrument that allows you to produce the sound you are looking for most easily.
