Eastman EAS453 Vintage Finish Alto Saxophone
The Eastman EAS453 Vintage Finish Alto Saxophone is an intermediate saxophone for advancing players looking for greater tonal depth, response and flexibility. Its distinctive vintage finish gives the instrument a classic appearance while the EAS453 provides the responsive playing characteristics needed as a musician progresses beyond their student saxophone.
Rich, Responsive Sound
The EAS453 offers a full, centred tone with an easy and responsive feel. It gives the developing player greater control over dynamics, articulation, projection and tone colour, providing more freedom to develop their individual sound.
Its balanced response across the range makes it well suited to players moving into more demanding ensemble, examination and performance repertoire.
Designed for the Advancing Player
The comfortable keywork and responsive mechanism make the EAS453 a natural step up from a student instrument. As the player’s technique develops, the saxophone provides the additional tonal flexibility and control expected from an intermediate model.
The vintage finish also provides an attractive alternative for players who prefer a more traditional, distinctive appearance to conventional gold lacquer.
Compare Before You Choose
Intermediate saxophones can vary considerably in tone, response, resistance and feel. At Tempest Music, we recommend play-testing the Eastman EAS453 Vintage Finish alongside other intermediate alto saxophones within your budget.
