![]() Great Price for a Entry Level Horn,
Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: Professional Alto Eb Sax Saxophone Gold with Other Accessories New (Electronics)
I play tenor and wanted to experiment with an alto and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money for a horn that would not get that much use. The price seemed extremely reasonable. I understand that with a price like this it is a buyer beware item. The item was delivered earlier than expected which was a nice surprise.
The external packing was very good. Overall it appears to be a very good horn. Once all of the corking was removed all key functions worked remarkably well. The needle springs were all in place. The pads were all seated evenly and there were no leaks. Tone from #F through Low Bb were very good with no problem achieving these tones. I have had this problem with other horns low end horns. Out of the box their were no tonal problems. I did notice that the thumb hook was loose and had to be tightened. The mouth piece is cheap and should be replaced with a higher quality mouth piece, with a lower end horn I would recommend a really good mouth piece and really high quality reeds. Also, since the horn more than likely is a stencil of another brand, it will need to be handled carefully to ensure that it will have longevity. One of the trade offs with this horn is that it will more than likely not survive more than five years and instrument techs my not work on them. For a beginner horn it is a nice buy and upgrade later kind of horn. The horn does not have a manufacture name or serial number on it. When I contacted the seller they said that it is generic. So chances of repair if it is broken are probably not very good. So if you are purchasing for a kid you might need to purchase the extended warrenty. I would say this is a good buy if you are looking for a horn to play for a low price and is not one that will get a lot of use. If you are purchasing for a new student keeping in mind that you may need to replace it in a few years, and it will need to be cared for well. Good Luck. 0

I have been playing Clarinet for 30 years and decided to try the Sax.
Needless to say, I did not wish to blow a few thousand on a top instrument, and I don’t like renting. Having read the other positive reviews I decide to give this a try. Wow! What a score! I agree that a new mouthpiece is indicated for any but a beginner, and the neck strap is garbage, but the instrument itself is beautiful. It is clearly a stencil for some high end brand, I have no idea which, but it is irrelevant. In order to purchase an equivalent instrument I think you would have to invest about a thousand. If you are a professional (Saxophone is your livelyhood) then I expect this is not up to your. standard, but then again your not likely to read up on a 0 Sax. For the rest of you, look no further. This is probably a 4 when compared with all Saxophones everywhere. But when compared with other low priced Saxophones…I had to give it a five. 0

My wife bought this for me for my birthday (71). I hadn’t picked up a sax since I was 35…. I’m finding out how much fun it can be to play again. Great for a starter sax or an old f*** like me who just wanted to try it again. Good price, I’d recommend it.
