Elkhart 100AS Alto Sax Outfit

What they say

Elkhart offers an entry level twist on a traditional professional level instrument design, taking influence from iconic brands such as Conn and Vincent Bach. In addition to this, as part of the Conn-Selmer group, they are able to integrate the same design flare and standards inherited from our pro level brands at an affordable price point. With an ethos of continued development since Elkhart’s inception,the brand is dedicated to creating the best all round beginner instruments -providing an aspiring first step on your musical journey.

Renowned amongst Music Teachers and Music Education Services, the 100AS is a great quality student saxophone perfect for the budget conscious beginner. It offers quality and robust construction, with excellent tone & projection often found in more professional-level instruments. To help with durability, Elkhart have decided to rib mount the keys, compared to soldering them directly to the body. Usually only found on more expensive instruments, this small detail will ensure your new saxophone lasts for years to come. Instead of using a traditional brace, the 100AS has a lightweight tri-point brace which not only keeps the weight of the instrument down, but also ensures structural resilience.

When playing the Elkhart sax, you will realise how responsive and resonant it is. This is thanks to the one-piece bell and body that also provides better projection and adds brilliance to the tone. This is a fantastic instrument for the first time student or for a saxophonist who requires a quality second instrument on a budget.
