J. Michael AL500 Alto Saxophone

Description

The J. Michael AL500 Alto Sax is an Eb alto model designed for student and intermediate use. It has a brass body with ribbed construction, adjustable thumb rest, and high F# keywork for extended upper range access. The instrument includes leather pads, metal resonators, and a two-point bell brace intended to improve structural stability during regular handling. Key action is moderately light, with balanced spring tension across the main stack. Intonation remains consistent through middle and upper registers when paired with a standard mouthpiece setup. Instrument Rental programs often place the AL500 in school band inventories because the mechanism layout is straightforward for developing players. The supplied case provides molded interior support and accessory storage compartments during transport.
