Developed With Alex Hahn, Built With the 
Player in Mind

The Eastman EAS852 52nd Street Alto Saxophone 
represents the next evolution in our professional saxophone lineup. Developed in collaboration with acclaimed saxophonist Alex Hahn—whose deep familiarity with the 52nd Street Alto made him an ideal partner—this instrument builds upon the innovations introduced with the ETS852 Tenor. 

Applying those lessons to the unique voice of the alto, we explored and refined every detail—from body resonance
and tone hole configuration to the development of multiple neck designs. The result is an alto saxophone that balances power, response, and tonal richness with remarkable precision. 

At the core of the EAS852 is the unmistakable 52nd Street philosophy: a robust tonal center, exceptional projection, and depth of sound. Paired with the patented DS Mechanism, it delivers a playing experience delivers improved key action, stability, and reliability.
