Good instrument

Just started playing the saxophone, this instrument easily produces a great sound,and after just a few practices I can get a steady deep tone without much effort. The response seems great,its weight seems much lighter than anticipated. The mouthpiece seems a little off, I ordered a Yamaha 4C which seems to fit much better. I have problem getting a steady high-pitch, but this is probably due to my incompetence, I will get a friend that plays better to test it and tell me his opinion and I will update this.

The visual aspect was a little disappointing,since it looks nothing like what is seen in the pictures (at least my instrument that is). It still looks nice,it has a dark brown color so it looks like it's made out of wood.

Overall I'd say it's worth the money, but if I could afford it I would definitely get a handmade MK III,since most reviews online seem to be praising that specific sax,however being a poor college student that could barely afford this one,I would definitely recommend it to fellow low-budget musicians.
