  • Great Buy!
When other parents were paying $800.00 for expensive saxes, this one was a bargain and is still in use by my 13 year old at Wylie Junior High School here in Abilene, TX.

  • It's a Chinese sax.
It's a Chinese Sax, so don't expect much from it! The one I bought came with laquer flaws, sticking pads and the bell keys with bending problems (leaking). But, if you pay another hundred dollars on a repair shop, it will turn into an average good instrument.

  • fast service, incomplete item
This seller shipped the saxophone fast. I received it 2 days after I purchased it. The used saxophone was in accceptable conditions as the seller wrote. It's just fine for a beginner... BUT it didn't included the neck strap. The neck strap it's a must. Every sax comes with one.

  • Nice Student Alto Sax
I purchased this sax through WWBW (Woodwinds and Brasswinds) an Amazon retailer for my son because of the Selmer name, good reviews and it was on sale. Its a good sounding Sax with clear tones especially with a good reed like Rico Royal or better. I gave it 4 stars because the first sax came "defective" from the factory with several sticking keys and bent springs which made the action slow. The musician/clerk at a Sister Store (Music & Arts) said it looked like it was "used" or perhaps a display unit which was repacked with shipping corks and all. Customer service was great. They emailed a return label--I shipped it back. 2 weeks later another one arrived. It had one key sticking slightly contacting another key, it just needed a minor adjustment. In total there was a 3 week delay. From the sister store, I purchased an "IMA" Instrument Maintenance Agreement which covers adjustments and all labor for a year (I have to pay for parts if Selmer Warranty doesn't cover it); otherwise it would have cost $40 or more to have the minor "set-up" adjustments made to the new sax. There are only two complaints, this instrument is made in China and if you buy from a brick and mortar store set-up is usually included in the purchase price. So, plan on paying for a set up adjustment or buy an IMA. The reason I purchased my son his own sax was that renting a sax would cost $600 a year or more (where we live) and the school sax he used this last year was going to cost almost $300 to change couple of pads and make some adjustments. That is why I am planning on purchasing the IMA every year from the sister store (Music & Arts) and have the sax tuned up annually. Its only $65 (with tax) a year for a student instrument. Getting the instrument tuned up can cost that much or more. And according to the musicians at the store parts aren't that expensive but labor is what costs you. At $65 a year for an IMA to keep the instrument playing like new is a good investment, especially compared to $600 a year to rent! The Selmer Prelude Alto Sax is made from good quality and weight brass, fairly well made, has good tone and intonation. Its a great instrument for the price. FYI: Included with the "lightweight" case are two adjustable carrying straps. There are D-Rings sewn in on the side the case to carry over the shoulder and/or there are 3 D-Rings on the bottom so you carry the sax in the case like a back pack (really useful for younger players because the instrument is somewhat heavy). By "lightweight" I don't mean cheap case, its made from structural foam the kind used on car bumpers which is strong and light weight. If you had to buy a "lightweight" case they cost a pretty penny. The case has a zippered pouch on top to put your music and a storage compartment inside. Also don't forget the cleaning kit, reeds and reed case (available from Amazon). I like the RICO case because it comes with a replaceable humidity control pack that keeps the reed from drying out (where we live) or getting too wet (where its humid). Even if you don't use the humidity control pack its a nice case and about half price here on Amazon compared to some music stores ($22 - $28) in my area. ... show more

  • Selmer drops the ball
I am a repairman of 28 years and I am shocked at the bad engineering in these horns.They are cheap chinese and not as good as the chinese stuff from ten years ago.They should never say selmer on them .The guys in charge do not care about the instruments anymore .They are selling a good reputation now. Shame on them ... show more
