"The best of all the cheaper saxes I've seen!" is what our repairer said when we showed him the Solo sax! After searching through all the different student wind instruments on the market and in consultation with several local teachers, THIS is the budget student model Alto sax we have decided to stock and recommend for those wanting to get into sax but don't want to spend "big bucks" on their first sax. Lovely deep gold finish, High F# key, Neotech neck strap and USA Hite Premiere mouthpiece included, the Solo saxes are made in Taiwan, are pre-serviced before delivery & have a 3 Year Warranty. VALUE! $1295 in case
