Thomann TAS-580 GS Alto Sax

didn't let down

i've been playing this for 3 months and so far its good. good quality for the price. the sound is good and even in the entire range. absolutely love the case it came with. the mouthpiece is not great but if you have experience you can make it sound not terrible, but i'm usually playing with my old yamaha 5C mouthpiece and it sounds good. its hard to play the notes on the lower octave quietly without warming the sax first (it will try to jump to the upper octave) but once you warmed up there is no problem

After using this horn for 3 years ,i am writing this review.

Sound is good, if you buy better mouthpiece and experiment you get more

versatility in tone colour,but that is probably all there is.

Intonation in lower register is off,it would be better if if there is more quality control, but i have to be real for this price point,you can t expect better.

If you don t have mechanichal skills you will have hard time playing,because

when i got it brand new it took a lot of adjustment which begginers will not

know how to do .

One thing i do like very much is the trekking case ,no complaints .

Advice, skip this add 300 euro more and buy a yamaha 280.
