Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - So far so good--very pleased for the price
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 ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Really cool Saxophone for the price
I bought this for my nephew who started his music lessons last month. He is really excited to get this as he says it is playing great so far. He has promised to play it at our next family gathering. Thanks for making someone really happy without breaking bank in this environment.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Look Elsewhere
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.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not worth the money
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!!!!!!


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - pretty good for an off brand
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.
