![]() ![]() Reasonably consistent tone throughout the range. ![]() Played reasonably in tune, went a bit sharp at the top end, but OK.Despite a smattering of dents showing it had been used, barely any scratches. Not exactly rich in tone, and doesn’t have the smoothness of the vintage saxes the body was allegedly based on, but OK. US (or Mexican?) built student sax from about 25 years ago Case is rubbish, cheap moulded plastic thing.I’m doubtful about its long term durability.Intonation and tone pretty good, played well with my Yani 7 metal and a RJS 2H reed.Has adjustable metal thumb hook and high F# key.It plays just fine, and being a modern sax has good ergonomics. None of them are what would be regarded as top instruments……. I currently have three saxes I’ll be selling soon, (two altos and a tenor) so I thought I’d do a comparative review. I’ve been thinking recently about the need for a certain set quality of sax, or whether it would be tolerable to play some cheapo thing, and just enjoy playing. I keep some nice saxes for myself (Yani tenor and alto, and some vintage stuff) and all the rest pass through my hands quite quickly. I buy and sell saxes as a means of financing my interest in playing.
