 Worth every penny, and then some. Nov 12, 2007
By E. De La Cruz
I purchased this sax for my son four months ago. This is a beautifully crafted sax with a really nice finish, the pads are tight and the keys are very smooth with pearl inlays. So far, my son who is a beginner has been able to produce some really nice sounds. This is a quality sax comparable to higher priced saxophones. Highly recommended, buy with confidence.

 pretty good for an off brand May 02, 2008
By John F. Temmerman
"Jazzman, saxguy"
I have a student with one of these models. His mother had bought him this instead of getting a rental, which would have been $500 or more a year.
His instrument has nice projection and is very free blowing. Intonation is not perfect, but it is reasonable. It's really quite good for an off brand, many of which are out and out junk. He'll need a better one come high school but, for now, this one will do.

 Not worth the money Sep 19, 2008
By sax lover
"sax lover"
I have just started playing saxophone, so when I saw this and read the reviews I thought this would be perfect for me. When it arrived it looked fine and played well, but about a month later the low C key breaks then the G key pad stays open a little all the time. So I think to myself and sy, " It's probably nothing and can be easily fixed". So I take it to my band teacher and he sends it off to a shop. When they finnaly get it we find out that the repair will cost more than a third more than it costs! My mom decided that this sax isn't worth it, and that we should just get a better one. The technician even said that he wouldn't waste the money either because the whole body was loose! Do yourself a favor and get a higher quality saxopone!!!!!!

So far so good--very pleased for the price Oct 10, 2008
By Amy
I purchased this for my 9-year-old son who is just starting sax as it was less expensive than renting it. I was concerned whether the quality would be sufficient and specifically asked him to verify with the band teacher that it would work.
Son has happily informed me that the instructor is using this instrument for demonstration and that she said it has a very good tone.
I'm not sure how it will survive the test of time (so far there was an issue with the case tearing, but none with the instrument), but it certainly has started out well. I know we'll have to replace this with a better instrument if son decides to continue with saxophone, but considering we are not certain if he will wish to continue with saxophone I am pleased to start out with this as a surprisingly good inexpensive instrument.

Look Elsewhere Oct 07, 2008
By Chestoozo
I purchased this sax for my 12 yr old son last year and am very disappointed by the overall quality. Although my son has played the sax for over a year, he struggled with it from day one and it wasn't until his private tutor (a professional musician) gave it a whirl that we realized that the notes were consistently flat. I don't know whether this was an isolated case of a bad instrument slipping through the quality assurance process, or whether it's indicative of a problem with this level of sax from this company. At any rate, if you're looking for an entry level sax just remember that you get what you pay for.
