Highlights
Quality
Suprized in the quality and performance of this tiny sax that my kitty loves by the way
It is very well made and her music teacher was quite impressed by the quality
As a sax tech i cant even buy a set of quality pads for what this entire sax sells for so there isnt any way to expect a 240 sa... Read More
Personally i wouldnt use the neck strap anyway because of its poor quality
Price
The price was right for my intention of occasionally using it as a hobby along with my alto sax
Yanagisawa is a very good company for saxophones both for jazz and classical playing
Packaging/appearance
It played great right out of the box no problems with any notes
If you just want to play around with curved soprano it plays well enough to have fun with right out of the box
Competitiveness
Its a teriffic sax for the money it goes for and just a few little modifications made it a very smooth easy playing horn that is in tune
Its worth noting that this horn has taken a beating
I switched out the mouthpiece to a vandoren s7and legere 2
The case resembles the original protech cases

Ive been a working saxophone player for close to 30 years and to get this horn in tune i had to cut 13 from the bottom of the neck cork off in order to get my mouthpiece far enough down the neck to a place i can tune the rest with my embouchure
