 Instruments That Outperform...Here’s Why:
M A S T E R
Quality Hand Finished Mouthpiece
All Suzuki Alto Saxophone mouthpieces are
constructed of the finest high grade plastic. This allows
for accurate chamber, rails and tip with a medium
close tip opening and lay. Each mouthpiece is hand
finished with special emphasis given to the crucial
mouthpiece tip. Now the beginning student can readily
achieve immediate success with an easier blowing,
more focused sounding quality mouthpiece. Complete
with ligature, 2 reeds and metal mouthpiece cap.
Top Grade Leather Pads and Metal Resonating Discs
For many decades, leather pads and metal resonator discs
on the larger key cups of a saxophone, have been standard.
Lately, manufacturers have begun using synthetic pads and
plastic resonator cups to save cost and cut corners. Suzuki
saxophones maintain the use of higher quality leather/
metal combination. The advantage is durability, better tone
projection and superior sound projection. Carefully hand
seated pads are exclusively used to give the player the best
opportunity to create even the most difficult notes

Professional style LH “Stack”,
RH Fifth Finger, Octave and F# Keys
The saxophone “stack” key group is one of the most difficult
mechanisms on all woodwind instruments. The design of the Suzuki
left hand stack key is balanced in design and easily manipulated
by the left hand fifth finger. They work smoothly and effortlessly
because of equalized spring resistance and no excessive spacing
between key and roller. The octave key has double cork bumpers
and no lateral rod to post movement. High F# key is positioned for
comfort and reachable by any sized right hand.
Hand Assembled and Adjusted Keys
Saxophones are notorious for adjustment problems of the
large keys and long rods resulting in poor tone and difficulty
in producing certain notes. Suzuki saxophones feature hand
assembled and adjusted keys for perfect fit resulting in smooth
key operation. The Suzuki alto saxophone has a remarkably
professional sound. Rich, warm, focused and centered, its
beautifully expressive tone quality will result in a player being
encouraged to practice and improve musical skills.

Professional Logo Engraving
Found on only the most expensive professional imported
saxophones, all Suzuki saxophones have expertly hand
engraved logos. The engraved logo on the saxophone bell
is beautiful, yet especially difficult to produce due to the
compound curve of the saxophone bell. Students will take
pride in knowing that their instrument has the quality look,
feel and sound of an instrument that cost much more.
Rugged Aluminum “Roadie” Cases
Indestructible, lightweight and “hip” looking, every music
student will be excited and proud to carry their chosen
instrument in a Suzuki “Roadie” style case. Its special
construction will protect the instrument for many years.
Unlike a soft case which exposes the instrument to damage,
our strong aluminum frame and custom formed soft foam
interiors provide the ultimate choice for long term use.
Deluxe Accessories
Everything is included with your
Suzuki Alto Saxophone Outfit. This
exceptional instrument with many
professional features also includes
cork grease, cloth cleaning swab,
neck strap, polishing cloth, reed
holder and 2 quality reeds.
