Pros & Cons
Pros
Highschool symphonic saxophonist loves the glory sax. Great for jazz, funk, groove and pop.
The instrument is gorgeous and build quality is quite good. Needs better mpc and soft reeds but beautiful after chops development amazing sound. The instrument, itself, feels a little 'tinny' compared to a yamaha, but it's also a $251.
It looks like an insanely low price, it is but the product is really awesome. It’s great that it comes with all the start up amenities.
The keys are all extremely sturdy, no air leaks that i could find. The toolkit looks ok. The keys feel a bit chinsy but that's ok.
Case is really sweet, its durable and keeps everything organized when in storage. The pad saver seems decent.
Cons
It was very nearly impossible to get rid of the oscillating sound in the very low notes. Even worse were the intonation problems. These aren't saxophones, they're saxophone shaped objects.

Mouthpiece is junk and includes reeds are garbage reeds will get moldy

Price
The sax is a great value for the money
The reason i used this is i didnt want to misrepresent and use a high end mouthpiece and for 20 its a huge improvement immediately
It cost 60 bucks to fix it at a local music store
It does not feel like a sub 300 sax
Shipping
Amazon shipped me another one real quickly after i notified them
The first one they shipped me had a problem with the octave key
Packaging/appearance
The tenor arrived and looked great but out of the box i noticed that the spring rod for the g sharp button was too short would ... Read More
It arrived double boxed and in its case
Good packaging i have very little experience on the sax as described
To my surprise right out the the box it had a warm deep rich sound the seals were tight and i could hit low c with little effort
Competitiveness
I ordered an upgrade yamaha mouthpiece and rico reeds and they sound better than the stock ones
You also probably want to buy a better brand of reeds as the ones that come with it are poor quality another important sound factor
To compare i play a yamaha yts62

I will more than likely update this review at a later time to comment on longevity of use of this tenor but first i know i have seen a typical concern from many others regarding how cheaper instruments are packaged and shipped
