It’s light weight with a big sound.

Best New Yamaha Instrument for youngling with a passion for Music!

OMG my brother was so excited when we got these for his Birthday/Christmas. He had wanted one for a while and couldnt seem to get his hands on it. But let me tell you that once he learned to play it sounded awesome, I am so glad I got it for him.

Great for taking music anywhere

I got one for my son, who already plays sax, and myself, normally a brass player. He immediately got some great sounds out of his, but it's taking a bit of learning curve for me.

Perfect Jazzz

Real fun instrument! Is easy to clean and is a Saxaphone with a clarinet twist!

It's a fun horn. The fingering chart is weird.

Patience pays off

First off, this is not a $2000-plus concert instrument. It’s meant to practice on and learn the basics of playing a reed instrument on a recorder setup. I have been playing various models of saxophone for almost 30 years and it has taken me a couple months of messing around with it for 15 minutes here and there to actually get my embouchure and fingerings consistent enough to play with a decently pleasant sound. I usually play with a #3 reed so the plastic reed that was included was ok. Actual reeds seem to produce better intonation. It’s not a saxophone, but it is entertaining and I don’t regret buying it. My 3 year old can also play a few consistent notes on it, so do not believe all the reviews by “music professionals” you read on here.

Gift

Was a gift for my Dad who playes both sax and thr recorder whenever he can, and was so happy to open it and start playing it right out of the box. He did need to find a different reed as the stiffness was not the normal he played with

He said it's a lot like a recorder with the fingerings but he loves it

I purchased this as a gift for my son who plays the saxophone. He said it's a lot like a recorder with the fingerings but he loves it!

Our grandson was thrilled

12 year old saxophone player was very happy Christmas morning He wanted to pause opening gifts so he could practice. He'll spend lots of time playing it

I'm no musician, but this makes me want to change that. fantastic investment!

I have no relevant experience, nor inherent skill, and was still playing the basics by the end of the day. my bkgd is in bass guitar and didgeridoo, luckily I had got a #2 reed since I saw a comment about the included #3 being a bit hard for beginners. so if you are new to reeds, maybe buy some other #reeds so you can try each one out and find your favourite. you can make a bunch of cool sounds with this by simply playing with embouchure and doing stuff like humming. I'm totally going to have bunches of fun mastering this neat instrument (and maybe I even get indirect experience for sax)
