Common Questions About the Eastman EAS451
Where does the EAS451 fit within the Eastman saxophone lineup?
Eastman places the EAS451 in its performance series, above the student EAS251 and below the EAS650, EAS652, and EAS850 professional alto saxophones.
What do the adjustable features contribute?
The adjustable thumbrest helps the player refine right-hand position, while adjustment screws in the left-hand and right-hand sections give a technician useful control during key regulation.

The EAS451 adds a high F# key, gold-lacquered keys, and adjustment screws for both main key sections. These features support a player progressing into more demanding repertoire and longer-term ensemble use.
