I bought this sax with aspirations to emulate John Dankworth, Not yet started on that. Also, I can not yet judge the performance of this alto. However, I can say, it arrived in good condition and well packed. On examination of it's structural and finish qualities,I can not fault it. I play Bb woodwind clarinet 'fairly' well.
Yet to get the hang of the 'Alto' fingering system, also the playing position and weight of this brass reed instrument. I consider it to be excellent value for the price. Tonal quality of notes I 'can' play are very satisfactory. Would love to hear it played well!! Considering buying a mute to reduce any annoyance to neighbours during my 'squark' sessions
I hope this evaluation will help someone ///
