How to find a good saxophone review?
If you do a Google search for "Saxophone Reviews", many of the pages you find will not be very useful, some "reviews" are just adverstisements or promotional material disguised as saxophone reviews, others consist of one or two user comments which may be valid, but they are very subjective and unless they are from a very experienced player or technician will probably not address the entire picture: the key elements that a saxophone review should include are tone (not just the basic sound but also consistency of tone throughout the range), intonation, ease of blowing, ease of fingering, ease of maintenance, build quality and cosmetics. You can read some authoritative and impartial reviews on Stephen Howard’s Review pages
Over the next few weeks or months I am hoping to post some reviews and comparisons of many different saxophones, please watch the site carefully or join the forum for details.
