Alto Sax by Startone

Saxophone came in perfect condition, properly packed with protective pads secure and tight.

Playing and setting up was a breeze as I got into the chromatic scale straight away.

Extremely good quality for the amount you pay, especially for beginners who are looking for a more budget friendly instrument.

There is minimal play and extremely well made as far as the keys are;

And the full sound of the saxophone is easily achievable with good results using the provided reed.

I highly recommend this saxophone rather than the kinds you find on the likes of Ebay and Amazon

Great Starter Instrument

I used this instrument to start learning the saxophone as an adult. I didn't want to spend too much money and opted for the Startone SAS-75 based on price. It served its purpose very well and got me to a point where I am progressing well and ready to upgrade to a better instrument. It has it's limitations such as a few keys that tend to stick but overall it is quite playable with a decent sound.

Good Value

Amazing product for the price. Bought it for a school project and it serves its purpose remarkably well.

Amazing for beginners

Everything works great. I love the look and the sound. If you are more serious about your sound, you might want to change the mouthpiece, however, it is still a good deal and you can get a good tone from the mouthpiece. My only problem is the ligature. It is really bad. Everything else is A+

Recommend for new players

As a new sax player, I recommend this for new sax players, as this is not very expensive compared to other saxophones yet it is quite good in my opinion. Since I am a new player my review is possibly not accurate at all.

Excellent beginner saxophone

Bought this after some consideration. I've been meaning to learn to play saxophone for a while, but couldn't afford one since I am not a professional musician. Then I found Startone. This sax is a branded ultra-cheap horn from China. Is this bad? No---in fact, this is its biggest advantage. While the quality of construction is not great overall (would you expect this for the asking price?) the instrument still delivers a genuine saxophone tone. What else would a beginner need? I mean, sure, this instrument will not last a lifetime, but for the price, would you really expect that? As far as the sound goes, it is fine. As far as the performance goes, it is more or less fine. So it goes like this---want a sax? Get this one and learn how to play it. Then get a more expensive one. And that's all she wrote.

Dream come true ...

A big Jazz fan, I've always dreamt to play the sax! This model is great to start discovering the instrument. Yes, it is not for the long run, but before investing in a (costly) sax for the long term, this model will allow you to start playing and find your own sound as well as the features & accessories you'd want for your long term instrument. ... and if that's not your objective, you'll enjoy playing your favourite tunes with this sax anyway ...

Good saxophone for beginers

Hi, I play now on that saxophone and it's realy good for that price. It's not for professional level. I recomend it for students/beginers. I think that for beginers is better to save some money for other next levels of their professionalism.:)

Google quality for a very good price

It is probably the less expensive, but if you have never played any saxophone, it is a good start.

I could not expect such a valuable instrument for that cost.

Obviously after a couple of year you could think in moving to higher quality but playing saxophone requires time, motivation and skills that i suggest to test with thieve try level.

Overall manufacture is good, the sound quality is quite good, just a bit colder than saxophone four time more expensive. There are many features you do not even imagine are provided with the set.

The case is rigid and well protect the instrument.

The response is quite good as well, probably you need to warm it a bit to get the best one it can give you.

Support and service provide by the company it is literally outstanding. They reply to each question and in very short time.

Great for Beginners

This is a great sax for anyone looking into to learning sax for the first time. I mainly play guitar so this was a good option as i didnt want to spend too much on one. It has a nice tone if you use a good reed. It really is a good instrument though. Great to see companies bringing out reasonably priced gear for musicians that dont have much money.

That's a great alto sax for the money!

I was impressed with the quality.

The mouthpiece that came with it is not very good, but a regular Yamaha 4C mouthpiece will do a great job along with some good reeds.

If you're loocking to buy a sax on a low budget I totally recomend it.

Sound pretty good!

Given its price, it has a good sound and I consider the perfect tool for beginners and even for those who already know how to play the saxophone!

The best for this price!

I like the startone sax, it is a cheap and a good saxophone, if you just start to play it I think it is ok, and when you progress you can buy an YAMAHA, but the sound is very good.
