Absolutely beautiful.. like WTH

I am in love with this sax. I bought the PR04 model and it is ridiculously beautiful with the flower engravings everywhere. I couldn’t find any other sax on Amazon with this level of design. Definitely looks like a much more expensive instrument. I love the shine on the brushed metal. If you look up Sakkusu Saxophone on YouTube, it looks like that one. Might even be the same sax from the same factory. Mine came with a small discoloration by where you’d hook your neck strap on. Not a big deal given the incredible price. Advice: highly recommend changing the mouthpiece to a Yamaha 4C and Legere Signature reed. It sounds amazing with that setup. The original mouthpiece/reeds wasn’t that great at all and squeaked often. I’ve never received so much value for my purchase as I did with this sax.

Excellent for the money!

For the price I am really pleased with this saxophone. I haven't touched a sax in about 10 years, and haven't performed in 16. Picking up this instrument at this price was incredible! I did get a different mouth piece, reeds, and a neck strap, but otherwise everything needed was in this kit! It sounds pretty good too! I am sure if you spend 10x what this one cost it should sound better, but for my purposes of occasionally playing and relearning an instrument I used to love, this is perfect!

Professional model quality at a very much affordable price!

I have been playing saxophone for nearly 29 years. I am a fully-certified music educator of 14 years. I can tell you that comparing this saxophone to: Selmer, Yamaha, Cannonball, P. Mauriat, Antigua Winds, Kielwerth, L.A. Sax, and more...this instrument literally is of equal quality. Hard to believe? Well, when almost everything is made overseas, then why should it be difficult to believe that the best quality products on the market today come from countries other than USA, France (e.g., Selmer of Paris), or Japan (e.g., Yamaha)? Neither Selmer nor Yamaha (the most expensive brands among pro-model saxophones) manufactures out of the countries where they have headquarters. Their own instruments are engraved with this proof. In addition, as a teacher, I have referred many students to buying Yamaha saxophones for $3,000+ only to come with octave key issues right out of the box and various cork issues within 6 months and Yamaha's warranty WILL NOT HONOR any repairs. I have tested this Glory saxophone from low B-flat to High-F and even an octave higher into the altissimo register with my tuner to confirm everything is as it should be. The response is GREAT throughout the range of the instrument. The lacquer, the "vintage" finish, and the engraving are EXCELLENT in quality. Every detail you would expect on a modern saxophone is included. Plus, it comes with a hard-shell gig bag with all accessories to get you started immediately. I am selling my existing alto sax to keep this one as my principal instrument. Why on earth would any band director purchase saxophones out of the budget they're provided with that cost thousands of dollars when you can purchase many more of the SAME QUALITY? Why do band directors insist that their students only buy what I consider to be the Mercedes-Benz/BMW/Lexus of instruments (e.g., Yamaha & Selmer). when they can save lots of money and have EXCELLENT VALUE? Yes, I highly recommend this saxophone, this company that makes them, and I encourage you to do the same.

Beautiful Instrument. An Excellent Piece for the Price

Beautiful Instrument. An Excellent Piece for the Price! I have not play a sax (Bari in Jr. High) in over 40 years. I play other instruments, but I was aware that my embouchure would be weak at best. With that said, I was pleasantly surprise at how well the pads sealed and the low register boomed out that B and Bb. Key placement is comfortable. More good mark for the horns intonation which was true to the strobe (tuner). It is solidly constructed and the antique nickel finish I selected exceeded my expectation. The supplied mouthpiece wasn't bad. After practicing with a Bari medium (seemingly more akin to a #3) synth reed for a week to build up some strength, I stepped down to the Legiere 2.25. Very sweet and easy to control. I have started working out with a metal M/P to compare tone and projection, but throwing one of the supplied bite pads on the stock M/P gave it a good feel. The case looks kind of elementary school with the bright bead stripe on the outside, but it is well made and cradles the horn in a nice plush molding. It would be great to have just enough additional inner compartment for another M/P, but I'm not going to be whiny at all for this price point and the overall quality of the gear provided. It does have a generous outer zipped storage. Plenty for the neck strap (had to uograde that), reeds and other somewhat flat accessoried. Love the inclusion of the sax-saver insert. Bought one for the M/P too. All in all I chose this sax after comparing and searching all of the reviews I could find for horns in this price range. It is rated very high and the player who demo'd it had all good things to say and play. Now, I can report, first hand, that the positive feedback was not at all exaggerated in my opinion. The Glory Alto performs Gloriously!

Real Jazz/Funk Musician...Great Horn, Low Price. Can't Beat It!

I am a semi-pro musician. I play a lot of local town gigs and have my own band, about 2 or 3 a month, so I'm not some guy who is just getting back into the sax after 20 years and can't play. I know what you're thinking, "what kind of paid musician plays on this Chinese crap?" Here's my assessment of this brand. This is my second Glory alto sax. The first one I got was the blue with silver keys (I love that horn). I have played the blue sax for 2 years: it is in tune, has a clear sound, and the action is great. I have not had any problems with it breaking down bigger than losing a cork or 2 and by now it has a lot of miles on it. The pads are just now starting to look a little worn, and I am overstating "a little worn"...it still plays about 99% as good as it did when it came out of the box. Now the new horn...the ENGRAVED FLOWER DESIGN-Glory High Grade Antique finish series PR4. The horn is beautiful, and just like the blue one plays near-perfect right out of the box. There is a little flutter on low C if I play below mf, but I'm gigging so no worries there! This horn is loud while still having the great, clear sound of the blue model. Every pad (EVERY pad) has a metal tone booster, so plan on playing this in a big band and not having to blow your brains out. I haven't had much volume trouble with the blue one, but the metal tone boosters are a plus in case I don't have a mic and am playing in a big club. Finally, the engraving is top-notch and stands out over dark silver-brush finish. Both of these saxes were obviously meticulously set up right before being shipped, something you probably can't say about that $3000 selmer you just got! Yes, these come off an assembly line, but so far the machinery and keywork is perfect. They are near-flawless Selmer USA clones, and this new one feels a bit closer to an SA. The action feels a little faster, and the keys are slightly lower than the blue's (not much, but noticeable). The springs are a little stiff, but I think they are the same as the blue's and know they will break in nicely. Cost...come on. Get the 3-year accident protection. So the new horn cost me 275-ish altogether and if I drop it or if a key breaks or someone steps on it, I can cash in the protection for a new sax! Both saxes and I'm only in for about 550 and so far have not had to use the protection plan, but why not get it just in case when these amazing saxes are so cheap! One more thing, this sax came in the sporty gig bag seen (black with light-blue trim). I swapped cases on my saxes to have the gig bag match my blue sax and the straight black case match my new sax. Inside it comes with a case strap, neck strap, mouthpiece (have never tried it), some reeds, cleaning cloth, silica gel, cork grease, tweezers (!) and a flat-head screwdriver. Finally pro-level saxes for a very affordable price. Once I save a little more, I will be buying a tenor.

Antique finish is gorgeous & does not feel cheap!

We were scared to purchase. Afraid it would look and feel cheap. We got the antique finish and it's beautiful. Daughter said it feels quite similar and sounds similar to the much more expensive one she uses at school. She's very happy with it. Update Band instructor was pleased with it when he checked it out to see if it would be ok for her to use in the school band. His words were, "alright! Pretty cool!" lol

Finally a sax, that sounds like one!

Ok, In my past, I've purchased a good 5 or 6 chinese saxophones, but unfortunately none really sounded like a real sax. Some even sounded like a trumpet. Some were ok. Like the tenors were more sax sounding than the altos, and the altos were better than the sopranos. But I've been pleasantly surprised with my Glory alto sax! No wonder it's rated number 2 in the list of best budget saxes of 2016! Number 1 was a sax more than 4x more expensive. It's definitely better than the 25% more expensive Mendini sax I own! It just sounds more like a sax, and the notes are more dead on than with the mendini, which in octave 2 gets more than a quarter note off scale. The instrument is beautiful (I got the plain black with golden keys), it's heavy, but not too heavy (mendini was heavier); it sounds great, and is easy to play. The provided mouthpiece is a practice mouthpiece, it doesn't go very loud. I paired it with a $20 Yamaha 4c mouthpiece, and it was a tad louder in the mid tones. It also more easily could play the lower notes. With the stock mouthpiece low D and C were hard to impossible to play. With the Yamaha mouthpiece, only the low C. I definitely will go for a better mouthpiece soon! I think mine needs to be set up, as the 4 lowest notes are really hard to play. The neck strap like usual needs replacement. I wonder why in this day and age they would still provide a non-neoprene padded strap for anything heavier than a soprano. Though the neck strap comes to good use for my EWI, which I have lost the strap for. My impression of the Glory sax lineup, is that in essence, they're all the same saxes, with as difference that there is the basic sax, the upgraded one (with a design in the bell and on the body), and the vintage saxes, with eye for detail on the paint and body designs. But all should emit about the same sound quality. Since for me this was a budget conscious choice, I went with the base model, and only paid $10 more for the black version with the golden keys. The reed on the sax was a bit of poor quality and chipped, so I have ordered synthetic reeds (bamboo/plastic mix, not regular plastic) for this sax. Overall I would say for beginners there is no better bargain out there to start out with. Whether you play in class, or play in a band, this sax is up for the task of the beginner and intermediate. Professionals too, can purchase one of these funky color saxes, and enjoy a decent sax sound. This sax probably doesn't have the reliability or sound quality of a $2k+ sax, and parts may be harder to find, but really, at $300, you just buy yourself another sax; which is what one repair with parts on a $2k sax easily cost anyway! So for the beginner and intermediate this is a great buy. For the pros, (aka, anyone with 2+ years of experience playing in bands) it's a nice gadget as tertiary sax, to take to sketchy gigs, or in places were sound quality matter less over looks! I would definitely buy a Glory sax again, it's the first Chinese sax, I would use in live settings! It sounds great!
