Experience the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation with the Eastman EAS850 Rue Saint-Georges Eb Alto Saxophone. Named in homage to the historic Rue Saint-Georges, the birthplace of the saxophone, this instrument embodies the quintessential French sound—refined, focused, and centered. Eastman, renowned for their precision craftsmanship, has reimagined the saxophone design to introduce the revolutionary DS mechanism. This feature, inspired by professional handcrafted flutes, offers a quick, light, and fluid action that enhances playability to an unprecedented level.

Whether you're performing jazz, classical, or pop, the Rue Saint-Georges adapts beautifully with its dual-neck option. Choose between the “S” neck for a broader, more open sound or the “R” neck for a focused tone. This versatility, combined with the saxophone's ergonomic design, ensures comfort and precision in every performance. The silver-plated keys provide superior grip, even under the pressure of long performances, while the carefully contoured key touches deliver tactile feedback that makes the sax feel like a natural extension of your musical expression.

Beyond its impressive sound capabilities, the Rue Saint-Georges dazzles with its aesthetic appeal. The instrument features elegant hand engraving, a unique bell brace braiding, and a deluxe case. It's not just a saxophone; it's a statement of craftsmanship and style.
