Decided to buy this Sax after reading a review by the author of Saxophone Manual: The step-by-step guide to set-up, care and maintenance stating that it's as well built and sounds as good as Taiwanese student saxes that cost twice as much. As per his advice I also got a Yamaha 4C mouthpiece, and some Rico reeds to go with it, and been using it since the beginning. Thus I can't tell anything about the original mouthpiece, but that's the point: you save so much money with this sax that you can afford to buy reputed brands' essential accessories, the mouthpiece being one of the most fundamental ingredients of good sound.
I've been learning to play from zero using Jazz Method for Saxophone (with Audio CD) for Alto Saxes. I've been progressing steadily for two months, without any hindrance from the sax. The author warns about bad saxes making certain very high or very low pitch notes impossible to play, but that hasn't happened with this one.
The accessories it comes with are a neck strap (kind of integral part of a sax, I guess. Replaced mine with a wider, neoprene strap for added comfort), a pair of white gloves and a pad saver, a device that you stick inside the sax to absorb humidity.
When you want to try to start playing an instrument you never know if you'll get bored or have to give it up, so spending lots of money in the instrument is risky. The alternative is buying a used one, but then you have the worst risk of it being worn out or with defects that you, as a novice, can't notice.
I think this sax is a great alternative. As for me, I've been having lots of fun playing it and it helps me to keep motivated to go on learning.

I purchased one of these a while ago and within a week I was playing fluently. It is a fantastic saxophone for both learning and for professionals. Holds a good shine and comes with everything you need to maintain and play it. It comes with a reed installed, I still havent needed to replace it for 6 months. Capable of reaching a High F and lower notes aswell without cutting out or squeaking. Clean sound.

This is my first saxophone and I have to say that I am very happy with. Have nothing to compare it with but my teacher has said that it is a decent one and therefore considering the price I believe it was an excellent beginners sax. Gear4music was completely reliable and they even sent me another mouthpiece cover when I told them that mine had some problems. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is that the case that it came with was not very good. One of the locks broke after a few weeks of usage but I was going to buy a travel case anyway so I have not really bothered. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cheap but quality sax.
Add something to review: I now have the sax for a few months and it has been great. Very nice sound and whoever has heard it can not believe the actual price. I definitely recommend it!
