Common Questions About the Eastman EAS850
How does the EAS850 differ from the EAS650?
Both are professional Rue Saint-Georges alto saxophones, but the EAS850 adds Eastman's DS mechanism and represents the more fully featured configuration within the series.
What is the purpose of the high F# key?
The high F# key provides a dedicated fingering for that upper-register note, which can support secure technical execution in repertoire that frequently reaches the top of the standard keyed range.
What playing settings suit the EAS850?
The EAS850 is designed for advanced ensemble, solo, jazz, commercial, and teaching applications where professional keywork, projection, and adaptable response are priorities.
