The LJ Hutchen Eb Alto Saxophone FeaturesKey of Eb (E-Flat)The LJ Hutchen Alto Saxophone is in the key of Eb. The majority of student musicians learn to play on an alto saxophone, and some will later switch to tenor, baritone, or soprano saxophones. Heavy-duty brace to prevent misalignmentIt is no secret that students and young musicians are not always as careful as they should be with their instruments. While no instrument is impervious to damage, our heavy-duty bracing system helps prevent misalignment that can occur from heavy use or from getting knocked around. Ergonomic thumb-restThe thumb rest offers the right-hand thumb a point of reference, allowing the right-hand fingers to be placed easily and correctly on the keys. The thumb rest on the LJ Hutchen Alto Saxophone was designed for ultimate alleviation and comfort. Carefully designed pinky keys to accommodate young handsWhile all alto saxophones have a similar size and shape, not all share identical key layouts. We've taken extra care in designing a pinky-key configuration that is easy to reach with small hands, but won't impede upon players with larger hands. Specially treated pads for durabilityThe function of a saxophone pad is to cover the tone hole and seal air into the horn, for an easy and accurate response. LJ Hutchen saxophone pads are specifically treated to resist moisture and every day wear and tear. . Comprehensive 2-Year WarrantyEach and every LJ Hutchen instrument comes with a comprehensive 2-Year Warranty. The warranty covers everything except damage from neglect, theft, or loss. In some cases, if warranty work is required within 30-days of receiving your instrument, we will exchange it for a new one (including shipping both ways). After 30-days, the instrument can be mailed to us for repair. Our repair department will repair and return your instrument within 24-hours, which allows us to achieve a turn-around time comparable (if not faster) than a local music store. Free adjustments and maintenance are also covered throughout the warranty cycle.Prior to Shipment:Prior to shipment, every LJ Hutchen instrument is meticulously inspected by one of our certified technicians. Quality control is of utmost importance before approval. Once approved, each instrument is carefully packed and prepared for shipment.

Don't know how long she'll play or if she'll like it, so didn't want to spend a ton. However, if she does keep up with it, I didn't want her to have junk. So, decided to go middle of the road. The instrument is OK, but right away she started having issues with the valves. One still doesn't close properly, so the band teacher wrapped a rubber band around it to keep it closed. A button fell off one of the keys - super glued it on. The mouthpiece had to be adjusted because it was bending the reeds therefore making it difficult to make sounds... Bottom line is...you get what you pay for. The problems aren't worth my time sending it back or dealing with the seller, so just took it to the local music store for adjusting. Hopefully, nothing else will go wrong with it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the most decent low cost student sax models *by E***L on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on May 1, 2014* I have waited almost 2 years to review this product because unless you have played a saxophone for a while you really don't know it's true value and quality (if any).I would say this is one of the best choices if your are looking for a low cost instrument to begin learning to play the saxophone. It is far better than its cheaper competitors. So, for the price I paid I am happy with what LJ Hutchen has delivered to me.I have a private instructor who is a professional musician. He tried the sax and tested it throughout the whole range. He also checked for leaks and some of those design and construction details that only experienced sax players now about. His overall impression was that this is "one of the best student level, low cost saxes he's seen so far". He was specially impressed with its solidness and its ease of playing. He said it performed like a more expensive model.But my experience with the instrument hasn't been an eternal honeymoon because after a short while the thumb rest fell off, as well as the neck cork and some of the tiny pieces of cork glued on to the keys. Being a full time industrial engineer I assume this was caused maybe because the instrument had been sitting in a hot warehouse for a long time after it was manufactured (the glue might have been degraded by the heat). I might have been also because I left it in the trunk of my car a few times under the intense tropical sun ( I live in the Dom. Rep.).- If it wasn't so, then perhaps the glue they used was not of the best quality.Having said that and despite the minor problems encountered, I give this sax a 4 star rating and judge it as one of the best saxes in the low cost category. As a general advise, I wouldn't recommend anyone to pay less than $400 for a student model sax. If you feel you can invest a little more thus get better quality, then check out the Roy Benson RBAS202 Eb Student Alto Sax selling here on Amazon for $ 599, or even the RBAS302 which they advertise as a "professional model" for $ 645. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Mixed opinion after one month of use - *by G***W on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on April 30, 2013* Cons -Case is very poor quality considering 400$ you are paying for this equipment. I understand that this is low end sax but case could be better quality. The strap that holds top and bottom section of case came off. It was just glued instead of stitched very poor quality. Also handle/strap to carry the sax does not look very sturdy and I fear in another couple of months will come off ( i hope not ??). Also the Sax strap that they give is of no use as its not padded at all. You will have to spend another 15-30$ to get the strap.Pros -Sax looks good quality. It sounds good.Looks sturdy. But its only 3-4 weeks so might be to early make a call on the built quality. So from Sax performance wise me and my son are satisfied. Another pro is price.I would have give 4 stars if case/strap quality were better. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1256280-eb-alto-saxophone-with-case-mark-i-model-2-year](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1256280-eb-alto-saxophone-with-case-mark-i-model-2-year) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
