Alto Saxophone Gold E Flat Sax Full Kit for Students Beginner with Carrying Case,Mouthpiece,Mouthpiece Cushion Pads,Cleaning Cloth&Cleaning Rod,White Gloves,Neck Strap

Who: Absolute Beginner to Woodwinds What: Eastrock Alto Saxophone Color: Black and gold For: Leisure, Relaxing, Vibing, Curiosity, Expression The instrument came in a beat-up box, however, the case did it's duty in protecting the saxophone. It came with all that was described, however, the gloves are a questionable addition and the neck strap not comfortable to me. I have found nylon neck straps/harnesses pull at my facial hair, so I invested in a leather one instead. The mpc protector pads and the moisture absorber rod are a couple of the more interesting additions that I have used consistently(Yes, I have a handful of mouthpieces [mpc]). I have heard moisture absorbers can shed into the instrument, but I have not experienced this thus far, 3 months in. Even though I don't use the mpc, reeds, and ligature supplied, this has been a great buy! I would have gladly traded those items for a swab kit, lol. No issues with durability, but I do baby it until I wail, lol. Pads are in good condition, except for maybe the one for the octave key, but I will see-- it looks off-center. No issues with sound, but who am I? This is the main reason I didn't try to adjust the octave pad. I did have issues figuring out transposition which led me to believe the sax was out of tune though, lol. As a final note: After three months of use, I feel a good swabbing kit, and using it after every session, is essential for any Sax. The gloves and alcohol wipes could be used for hand print maintenance (degredation of the finish, etc), but I figure the time spent meticulously cleaning the instrument is not worth the effort... time will tell, of course. Concluding thoughts: I am currently exploring different ligatures, but just be aware that even some of the cheap mpcs can create a beautiful sound (which I found recently with a cheap Libretto mpc) with a decent setup, strong embouchure, proper form, and practice! Since I am new to woodwinds across the board, I did quite a bit of research, including splurging on a subscription to bettersax to help with my journey. Between that website, YouTube videos, and practice, this instrument has become a great addition to enriching my life. For reference: My go-to setup for this Alto: D'Addario D6M mpc, Rovener Dark Ligature, VanDoren Reeds, usually Java Red 2/2.5 but digging the 2.0 ZZs as of late. I use green leaves to help with any sticking issues when on the stand, as well as not eating or drinking sugary product before/during sessions.

Love this sax sound is clear, very well put together color is impeccable. You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars for a beautiful beginner alto sax. Or even intermediate player. So happy with this sax daughter loves it

This saxophone sounds very good, and is a great value. Highly recommend this brand.

It is a beautiful instrument. More common or popular brands cost way more but this is more than adequate for beginners like me. One thing is that it is heavier than I expected and it hangs heavily around the neck.

This is a great starter instrument. My 10 year old is using this for beginner band and is loving it. It’s very durable, the color is as it shows, & truly great value for the money, she uses it with ease.

My son loves it. Looks great and sounds great.

It looks just like the pictures. It is a beautiful saxophone and my wife loved it for her Christmas gift! The reed is low quality but they are cheap to replace. Great product.

Great service and a great product.

Return the product because the product is not as per discription. Small sized product. That's why I returned it. This is cheating for the customer. Send my curier charges immediately.

Increíble ,, precioso como se ve en fotos y sonido estupendo

Mal sonido y muy bajito (puede ser que haya que ajustar)

The sax itself is great. Plays very well But I purchased because of the color I was very disappointed with the color False advertising

Im 2. Versuch war die Bestellung wieder schnell und diesmal in guter Qualität.
