  • Sounds AMAZING
I love it!! I love how it sounds and how it feels! Definitely worth it

  • Fantastic
Absolutely one of the best tenor saxophones for beginners or somone who is coming back to the tenor saxophone after a long absence. Years ago I played tenor. My instruments of choice at the time were vintage horns, mainly Buescher and Conn. In fact my first horn was a transisitional Buescher True Tone made in 1930. I then got away from Saxophone and played Bass Clarinet for many years. Right now it's like learning Tenor Saxophone all over again. This time I decided to go with a modern saxophone and decided on the BetterSax tenor. I've found that tuning is centered, the fingering is erognomic (far superior to the vintage horns that I started on. I would recommend this saxophone to anyone who is just starting out or coming back to the saxophone, or an long time professional who is looking for a great saxophone. ... show more

  • Almost perfect
Received my better sex tenor in great condition. Except when I tried going up & down the scale. Low G shuddered. I discovered a leak in the necks octave vent. Tried experimenting using one of my spare tenor neck. Plays good no defect! I think the neck is bend. But the rest of the instrument is in great tune. Sweet water was suppose to inspect thoroughly. Really?? I just need the neck replace. Its a great saxophone. I love the respond. I can finally play the lows. Upper Keys is perfect pitch!! Love the Better Sax Tenor. I sound like a pro!! ... show more

  • Better sax classic tenor
I play a mark 6 and king super 20. Just received this horn as a backup and something for my grandson to use for the upcoming school year Horn is easy playing with a comfortable feel. Has a nice tone. I used a Phil Barone mouthpiece on it and the horn produced a good dark full sound. I would highly recommend this for younger players or as a good backup horn. Andrew ... show more

  • Hermoso sonido
Saxofòn tenor en combinaciòn con la boquilla y caña proporcionados, resultò en un sonido redondo. Tambièn me ha gustado el mecanismo del instrumento, que responde muy bien y es silencioso.

  • Good value, this is a high quality entry level horn.
Not a bad horn. Tone is relatively good and intonation is pretty consistent. I did not care for the key layout on the upper left hand and the palm keys. I had some trouble getting to the B key and bis key, just different from my main horn. It also seems to have a problem with saliva not collecting at the bottom of the horn. I would have a wet left hand after about twenty minutes of playing. Not an issue with primary horn, so something is different with the design. Palm key notes were a little thin compared to my primary horn. I play a P. Mauriat 66R as my primary horn and I was hoping this would be a great choice for a second sax. ... show more
