I've been playing on this sax for about 6 months before writing this review to give this instrument a fair review. Just as a side note, I am a clarinetist that recently switched to playing Tenor. This instrument plays beautifully! With my smaller hands, I have no problems reaching the low B and Bb keys. I was able to play a low C on the first try (which was impossible for me on my grandfather's sax) It's also absolutely beautiful; shiny silver, easy to keep clean.
The case is really sturdy and looks great and has plenty of room to store everything you need. It also comes with swabs, reeds, and gloves. There's a care book that is also included. The Thomann reed brand is also very nice to play on. Good sound.
The stock mouthpiece is not bad either especially for people who are beginning. People usually complain about stock mouthpieces but for me it was great because the tip opening wasn't too wide. That works great for people that are used to playing on the clarinet making the switch. Good sound and I have since bought two additional mouthpieces that have wider tip openings.
Overall I am very satisfied. I would highly recommend this sax for anyone that is looking for a good, affordable, quality instrument that looks and plays beautifully. Thank you.
