Ultimate, lighweight, busker's alto sax

The World's first polycarbonate saxophone (www.sax.co.uk) weighs in at 850gm compared to your favourite old brass alto at around 2.7kg. 

Sax.co.uk says it's not meant to replace your vintage Selmer, but it's a serious instrument and the price of a Chinese student model. 

Made of a blend of polycarbonate and ABS, it has a dark and warm tone. Mornington Lockett - he just played Brecon Jazz - see below - apparently wants one: "It's reminiscent of the old Parker Grafton sound."

And a quid under £350. 


Wonder if I could get a review copy. . .
