Description
The Artemis A1 Alto Sax Outfit – Black. Gold Lacquer Keys is a smart, confidence building first sax for new learners and returning players who want an easy start with a touch of style. Its black body with gold lacquer keys looks striking on stage while remaining understated for school use. Designed to speak readily at low volumes and project cleanly when you push, it helps you find a reliable tone from lesson one. The outfit supplies the essentials you need to get going straight away, including a quality mouthpiece, ligature and cap, a comfortable neck strap, a reed and a protective case.
Compared with many entry level Student 1 instruments, the A1 feels more secure in the hands and responds with less effort, so progress comes faster and with fewer frustrations. The brass body is finished in a tough black lacquer that resists everyday knocks, complemented by smoothly finished gold lacquer keys that feel comfortable under the fingers. An adjustable thumb rest helps you settle into an efficient hand position, and the mechanism is set up for smooth, quiet action. Consistent padding and carefully regulated springs promote even intonation across the range, making scales, long notes and first tunes more predictable and satisfying.
This outfit suits the expectations of UK teachers and music services, offering dependable tuning and simple maintenance so lessons stay focused on playing. The responsive setup supports the early grades with ABRSM and Trinity, and its comfortable ergonomics make practice sessions more productive at home. A lightweight hard case protects the instrument on the way to school, rehearsals and concerts, with space for accessories and music. For families and adult learners looking for solid value, the Artemis A1 delivers the right blend of durability, playability and smart looks, so you can enjoy steady progress now and keep options open for future upgrades.
