Student-Level Saxophones
Starting a musical journey with a reliable, quality saxophone is the key to a successful experience. Meyer Music offers brand-name student-level saxophones as rent-to-own, matching teacher preferences with accessories included.
Step-Up Saxophones
As a player progresses, their saxophone should match their growing skills. A student level saxophone is a great way to start a musical journey and a Step-Up saxophone will take a player even further.
Meyer Music offers an array of high-end saxophone brands, including Yamaha, Selmer, Keilwerth, and Cannonball. As Michigan’s only Shokunin Yamaha dealer, their premier level, we also provide access to a wide range of advanced Yamaha options.
What is the difference?
Step-Up Saxophones made of higher-grade materials, such as annealed brass, for richer tone color and feature metal resonators for ease of tonal projection and blued steel spring for quicker key response.
Step-Up Saxophones feature a wide neck bore for a fuller sound and ribbed construction for more stability and better retention of fine adjustments.
Step-Up Saxophones feature specialized key placement for greater technical efficiency and may include added key mechanisms for ease of play and range extension.
Step-Up Saxophones feature a higher level mouthpiece, providing improved response, tone and a better initial “voice”.
