Thomann TTS-180 Black Tenor Saxophone

I received the sax yesterday and tried it out for a few hours. Putting it together, I find the instrulent is porrly machined. The neck is hard to insert into the body, it's too tight. The ligature is awful and had to be replaced immediately by something better. Between Ab and G over the break, a huge difference in timbre.

I believe it is worth purchasing this instrument as a first tenor for someone who is a beginning player, to get the feel of the instrument. At this price, there's no cloth to clean the sax but there is a pair of white gloves. Perhaps these are top contrast against the black of the body?
