Great Instrument, but a little pricey!!Nov 10, 2010
By M. Rodriguez
"Cnyper"
I've had and used this model of Alto Saxophone for 4 years! I used it in high school marching band and it's great! The keys are very well constructed, so pressing any combination of them requires little pressure and offers nice bounce back. It's very good-looking with the gold base, silver keys, white key pads (on the outside), and black accents of the thumb holders (both top and bottom). I The tone is rich and full! It can be played in marching or concert settings, and gives you a great sound for either. The pads (which are a nice, light brown color) seal the instrument well and as long as you keep it clean, it will play well for you for a long time!
The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because it does scratch relatively easily, as it does not have a lacquered finish like some of the brands. It also doesn't play with the same smoothness as some of the "higher end" brands (LeBlanc, Tempest, etc.) The case it comes with is pretty basic, and if you're traveling a lot, you can hear your stuff (mouth piece, neck strap, reeds, etc) rattling around and scratching up the instrument, which isn't great.
