Eastar Student Alto Saxophone E Flat for Beginner Sax Full Kit with Carrying Case, Mouthpiece, Straps, Reeds, Stand, Golden Lacquer, AS-Ⅱ

I have always liked the saxophone and I bought this as an early birthday present to myself.Firstly, I was impressed by the quantity of accessories in the box. I know it’s all listed, but I was surprised by the stand and the cork grease being included. Also there was a reed already in the mouthpiece that seemed to be perfectly positioned.Once I’d removed the cork keeping the lower keys closed - you might want to put a note in the case telling us about that, Eastar! - I gave it my best embouchure and blew a clear, warm note. I was thrilled. Over the last few days I’ve been familiarising myself with the tone, hand positions and fingerings, and I’m in love with how this instrument looks, feels and sounds. This is great value for money, as I might never have bought a sax for myself at a higher price point. As it is, this beginner is finally beginning.

Returning to sax playing after some years, I was looking for a good quality, inexpensive instrument to see if I still had the wind power to play. The reviews indicated that this instrument seemed to tick the boxes so I bought one and, thus far, am pleased I opted for this model. I’ve only had it a few days and am still trying to get the technique under control, but everything seems to be fine. The notes are true, given my ability to make a squeak appear from nowhere, at least in the lower range where I am concentrating. The sax is well made, the finish is first class and it is a sturdy piece of kit. A decent set of accessories are included BUT BE WARNED. The description clearly states that cork grease and a pad saver are included, but they are not. Apart from that small issue, a decent instrument at a decent price which is an ideal starter sax.

I use to play saxophone some 20 years ago. When I say play, I mean I was able to play a simple tune. I didn't take it any further then as I simply didn't have the time. Now retired, I play the piano, guitar and harmonica and decided I'd like to give alto saxophone another go.I ordered this model as the reviews seemed favourable. That said I ordered some Rico reeds (1.5) as I wasn't expecting the ones that come with saxophone to be of much use. In fact the ones that come with the sax are (3) probably to strong for a beginner.I'm no expert, but the saxophone seems well made, no apparent issues with any keys, not overly noisy key action. I was also a bit worried the mouthpiece wouldn't be up to much, however it seems fine for now. I was able to play a C major scale within ten minutes no squeaks or unwanted noises so I'm very happy with my purchase.Stand seems well made and cleaning tools too.

This is a very good instrument that arrives with all one could need.It is a joy to play and at a very reasonable price.

Im quite new to saxophone, so when I purchased this one I wasn’t sure what to expect. I brought it to my teacher, she pointed out how smooth and nice the design of the body and the keys are, and how good the sound is, considering quite a low price for the instrument. For beginners such as myself, this might just be the right thing. Still playing it, still sounds amazing!

I purchased this in September - never played before but found a teacher and always wanted to learn. I was committed and realised it would work out cheaper to purchase this than hire.I brought a new mouth piece on recommendation from the reviews along with some reeds.It's a great Sax and it's helping me to learn well. My teacher has also had a try and was impressed with the sound, I can't play it as good as her yet, however the ability is definitely there. Its been a good start for me and I recommend for anyone wanting to learn.

I hope 3* is a fair review. I was excited to receive my Alto sad having played a tenor sax some years ago. The build seemed good especially for the money. I'd ordered some reeds as I knew the reef coming with the sax would not be too quality. As I started to play scales I realized that I couldn't get all the notes. The tone and sound of those I could play was encouraging for a new instrument. When I investigated the lever of the G# note was not closing the key, it dabbled in the air. So I've asked for a return and my money back. It is disappointing that the quality control was not good enough to pick up on this defect.
