I purchased this product just a few days ago and received it yesterday, it is beautiful! It is of very high quality and definitely worth the money. If you are thinking about purchasing this product, DO, I am so glad that I was able to find this saxophone online, plus it had free shipping so for a very low price, I am so glad I chose to buy this!

I was really impressed when I received the instrument. I bought it for my Grand Nephew to finish out his Senior year in H.S. I am a professional musician for over 50 years and I am also a retired USAF Bandsmen. The sax is in a very sturdy case that will take a lot of abuse. I played on the horn in it's full range and everything was very nice. I wasn't impressed with the mouthpiece and if the player is an intermediate musician I suggest another mouthpiece. Consult your teacher. The intonation was very good as was it's tone. There is no marching lira with it but those are cheap. You do get a very nice music stand with it in the accessory pack. A plus is the adjustment on the articulated G#. This is a feature found only on very expensive horns. The only bad thing was a mis-adjustment on the Articulated B flat Bis key (B flat 1 and 4 fingering) A beginner is highly unlikely to use this fingering and it will not be a problem. This is a minor adjustment!!! and may have only been on this horn. Most shops wouldn't charge much to do it and maybe even nothing at all. The finish is really nice. There is very adequate guarding on the lower keys and also a guard for the longer keys and rods. I could find no serious fault with this instrument and the price is incredible. The pro musician might consider the Etude as a backup horn

This sax is an excellent beginners instrument although it looks like a professional instrument and sounds great! Best of all, is the delivery was swift and the price affortable. Its a splendered product for the price. Top quality and all assessories come with the purchase. Donot miss the opportunity to own one.

I bought this for my 12 year old son for his first year in band. We got it today and let me tell you it is BEAUTIFUL. I almost want to learn to play it myself. The sound is awesome and he is in love. It hasnt even been here 24 hours and he has told everyone and showed the pictures of him with it. I ordered it on Sunday and got it on Wednesday. I love the service and the speedy delivery. I cant wait to hear my son play this when he learns the notes. I recommend you buy this Sax. You wont regret it.

Was shopping for an inexpensive alto to compliment my tenor. Wow, was I surprised! Very nice tone, middle D not stuffy at all (unlike my tenor). Low notes just roll out effortlessly. I gig on weekends and needed a horn that didn't cost a down payment on a house. I can't compare this to high end saxes but for the money you won't beat it. Maybe I got lucky, but even my tech said, "Not bad", and he's very fussy. Try if for 45 days, I didn't send mine back.
