Question 1

Can anyone post this sax on youtube so we can hear sound quality before i buy it

Accepted Answer

What did you think of sound quality?  I’m looking for a saxophone for my husband who hasn’t played since middle school.  Don’t want to spend too much in case he doesn’t really get into it.

Question 2

Will I need a new mouthpiece, reeds, and neck strap because most of the reviews say they are bad

Accepted Answer

No. The one that comes with it, is okay for rehearsals and practice.You will want a new mouthpiece if you want it to sound louder and nicer, and a new neoprene neck strap for comfort.I use a Legere reed, which sounds really nice, and a $30 chinese metal mouthpiece. I'm really happy with the sound and the ease of playing.The provided mouthpiece is a little quiet for band play. You can use the strap for longer periods of time, if you have a cushioning between your neck and the strap (like a little towel, or high collar on your shirt)

Question 3

Is it for beginners

Accepted Answer

With a new mouthpiece and a good reed, it actually sounds very good, and can be used on stage.Out of all the saxes I've purchased, this one equals the sound quality of a Taiwanese sax! (level up from standard Chinese saxes), and can sound better than saxes two or three times it's price.I think it's for intermediates, studio and live; or a nice sax for pro's who need a backup sax, or one that's cheap, or great for looks.Doesn't sound like a $2k sax, but I'd say it does come close to a $800-1200 sax.Reason this is cheap, is because there are no replacement parts, and no one really can fix these in case there are missing pieces.

Question 4

is there a matching Tenor sax available

Accepted Answer

Glory does in fact produce a Tenor Sax, similar to the finish of black and gold, like the alto sax.  However, I have not had an opportunity to test it.
