## Description

Whether you want to buy a saxophone for yourself or for your friends or others, this saxophone is a product of choice as a result of its high quality and cost effective price

Review: 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!
Review: Solid for the money. - I played from middle school until senior year. Im in my 30s now, and didn’t play until I bought this horn to get my feet wet. My old horn was a $2,500 Yamaha. Not sure what model, but it was nice, and honestly the tone of this instrument sounds fine comparatively. My only complaints are; the cork pieces that support the keys are not cut precisely, the pads are inexpensive and will stick if you don’t dry them after playing, and the c# sounds a tad flat. I’ve gotta say though, after I got my embouchure back into playing shape, and my muscle memory came back in my fingers this cheap sax really started playing nicely for me. If you put a fat reed (I’m playing a 3 now) on a decent mouthpiece (using a Selmer C* for now) I believe this Alto will provide a tone that’s indistinguishable from a superior horn to the untrained ear. Chinese assembly line saxophones have really come a long way since I was a kid. The technology is there to make these horn serious competitors to other entry level instruments. The fact that they look awesome is a huge plus too. I got the antique finish on mine. It feels and looks like a very unique and quality horn. I periodically jam with some friends and when I upgrade I plan on taking this horn with me to gigs. If something happens it’s inexpensive enough that replacement won’t break the bank. Don’t bother with the mouth piece this thing comes with though. I could hardly get the one that came with mine to play. It’s worth it to do some research and buy a quality mouth piece. TLDR: after playing this horn for 3 months, I think it’s a real bargain. Sounds, plays, and looks far better than I anticipated.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can anyone post this sax on youtube so we can hear sound quality before i buy it**
A: 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.

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

**Q: Is it for beginners**
A: 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.

**Q: is there a matching Tenor sax available**
A: 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real Jazz/Funk Musician...Great Horn, Low Price. Can't Beat It!
*by P***R on September 5, 2017*

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.
