| I, personally, do not reconize the brand name and that in it's self may say something about the horn. I really do not know the conversion of money but when you compare it to other saxophones is it alot cheaper? I have found that you get what you pay for and to get a good saxophone you have to pay. Saxophones are NOT a cheap instrument. You are kind of at a dissadvantage seeing that you do not currently play the instrument as it would be hard for you to test out saxophones to see if it's what you want. Is it possible for you to rent or rent to own so you make the best desicion for you because you definately do not want to make the wrong one. The added features look pretty good [F# key, how I love it] but I really do not know anything about that horn. | ||

hi if you live in england, and still go to school, i know you can buy a sax thru school for less than half price. ive got a yamaha yas-275 for 430, and i've heard of ones going for 900quid. its a really good sax and has nearly everything i need. im sure lots of schools or organisations, etc do this. |

ps its worth paying a little more, unless you find the bargain of the century. i had borrowed a trevor james from school for 6months at the start, its worth about 250pounds new. I thought it was fine at first. I played it last week and it was awful. the quality showed, even for its age. |
