SAS-75 Alto Sax : For beginners, it's passable

11 years ago

This sax is from the low range of prices, and in some ways it shows. The overall sound isn't bad, but the seals, especially in the smaller keys might develop leaks after a year or so.

I'd recommend changing the mouthpiece and strap from the start.

On a positive note, all the springs and tension wires are of good quality and haven't buckled even after years of playing.

Cork quality in neck piece is good, no need to service it if properly maintained.

Keeps tune well.

Well-balanced.

Overall price/quality ratio is good, though I'd perhaps recommend this one to beginners only.
