Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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.

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
