Overall this is a good sax of study can be found for less than 500 euros in time, the difference between same-sax model is linked primarily to adjustments made, stamping, sealing and so on. So just to make a good restoration by a luthier and this experience will make all the difference. I tried hundreds of sax in 20 years, once you have your own sound with your mouth cavity, it should sound on sax all in good condition. Even a nine sax can super set incorrectly or improperly mounted, it depends on the person who did the work. This sax is part of the school where I work, it was never settled and did not move much, even with a large number of users. On the ergonomic level is less than a Yanagisawa study, or a Super Action 80, and all made a little toy, the fine metal finishes sometimes coarse: the downside. This is the sax that I recommend for beginners.
