Leblanc LAS511 Avant Alto Saxophone

A solid intermediate alto saxophone with a clean and expressive sound

 A stalwart of the saxophone manufacturing world, Conn-Selmer have re-imagined their signature line up of saxophones under another legendary name, Leblanc. Building upon a popular line of instruments, the Leblanc Saxophones draw upon that French heritage to combine sound, response and playability all in one package.

 The LAS511 saxophone has everything you would want from a  step-up, intermediate instrument. Whilst offering a very immediate response, the sound is still full, warm and has a pleasing focused core to the sound. Alongside an impressively developed sound, the key work feels spritely and right under the fingers. 

 The quality isn't confined to just the saxophone either. Each instrument is supplied with the legendary Brilhart Ebolin mouthpiece, giving your sound that extra boost in tone quality. Alongside a smart protective backpack case this bundle makes for great value and remains a go to sax for those looking for something to carry them forwards for years to come.

Staff Review

The new Leblanc felt really responsive right from the get go. The key action is fast, light and responsive and every key is right where you would expect it to be. I've used my own Brilhart mouthpiece for the test and the sound was nice and round and the instrument intonates very well. The sax definitely feels and plays like a much more expensive instrument. The fact that it comes with the iconic Brilhart mouthpiece and a very practical case makes it the perfect upgrade from your entry level student sax. Welcome back Leblanc! - Tommy (tommy@sax.co.uk)
