Customer Reviews

An excellent instrument for beginners or intermediates.
The Conn-Selmer Prelude Alto saxophone is an excellent instrument at a bargain price. Craftsmanship on this particular saxophone is superlative, quite above other similarly priced instruments by less reputable manufacturers. The keys are firm, in a good way. The tone is warm and even throughout the entire range, clear, just a bit this side of bright. Once you hold the instrument and play it for the first time, its obvious that the Conn-Selmer Prelude Alto is a well engineered saxophone in the tradition that is associated with those two great companies. Everything about this instrument exalts attention to detail and quality at an affordable price. Highly recommended.

purchased for middle school band student
Excellent option for beginning band student. Although the band director discouraged online instrument purchases; this instrument is in perfect condition, and is priced significantly less that a one year rental price. The instrument arrived as expected. A very good amazon.com purchase experience.

fast service, incomplete item
This seller shipped the saxophone fast. I received it 2 days after I purchased it. The used saxophone was in accceptable conditions as the seller wrote. It's just fine for a beginner... BUT it didn't included the neck strap. The neck strap it's a must. Every sax comes with one.
