I'm a professional saxophone teacher, and a student of mine bought "Sky" alto sax instead of renting. Big mistake! The neck is the wrong size, so no other mouthpiece fits except for the one it came with. This is unheard of! The intonation is terrible, and it was constantly in the shop. Stay away from these super cheap new horns ... you get what you pay for. Find a used Yamaha locally or rent something until you can afford something better!

Ok place to start

This affordable sax is a decent starting point for a new beginner. It will need work occasionally, and its a bit hard to play in tune but will suffice for the first year or 2 of study.

If your looking to learn to play sax try live online lessons. You just need a webcam and an internet connection. [...]

What a bargain!

Reviewer: S. Singh,

I was very surprised at the quality of this instrument for it not being a brand name. It came with a nice case and the promised accessories. It is well built and has a good finish. Looks very beautiful. From a beginners point of view, it produces good sound. I didn't have the cash to buy a thousand dollar instrument, so this was a great option to get started. So far I have been using it with no problems. The shipping and delivery is also super fast. This is a good instrument to start out with or play once in a while. I recommend it.

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 good inexpensive instrument.

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.
