I scan, scour and scrutinise the musical marketplace, looking for the best available instruments that I can obtain for you. My ability to weed out the unplayable rubbish is based on my experience of a few decades in the industry. I have been a music teacher. Since 1980, and have written more than 60 books on how to play musical instruments. Suitable for School Bands. More and more school bands are now featuring brightly colored instruments amongst the assembly of traditional colors. Masterpiece saxophones are a welcome addition to school bands, because they are easy to play in tune and attract more children to learning music. What Do they Sound Like? The Masterpiece range of colored saxophones all sound the same, so I have not recorded individual tracks for each one. The color of the paint does not make any difference to the sound. So a green sax will sound just as good as a gold one. The gold color that many saxes have is not due to gold plating, which would make a difference. It’s actually gold colored lacquer. The recordings below let you hear that this saxophone is not a toy, but a fully professional instrument. Similar to the Yamaha YTS 280, but Only One Third the Price. This saxophone has the same number of keys as the Yamaha, and other famous brands. It sounds pretty much the same, and its weight is nearly identical to the Yamaha. I’m a saxophone teacher and I hire and sell my Masterpiece brand saxophones to my students. Occasionally, I need to make a small adjustment, which involves tightening a tiny screw about 10 degrees. This is a small price to pay for the joy and excitement of playing on a shiny, brightly colored instrument. Admittedly, if my students were playing brand new Yamaha 280 saxophones, it’s unlikely that any adjustments would be necessary. However, there won’t be any WOW! Factor, because Yamaha does not make colored saxophones. You can even find cheaper colored saxophones than the ones I sell, but I cannot recommend them because I have no control or faith in the quality. When I first started offering colored saxophones I bought them from several different suppliers. Some suppliers sent me saxophones that were so badly made they were unplayable. Now that I have found a reliable supplier I still check every saxophone to make sure it is playable. Every Masterpiece saxophone is working perfectly when it leaves me. The body of this saxophone is made from genuine brass – an alloy of copper and bronze, then painted purple. The keys are coated with gold lacquer. The mouthpiece is ABS plastic. Suitable for School Band. Neckstrap with Safety Clip. Endorsement for the Masterpiece Brand. It has the exact same size & shape as the Selmer Mark V1. Thank you Brendan J Beame, working musician playing alto sax – Sydney, Australia. NO Packing Materials to Remove. These wedges need to be carefully removed with tweezers before playing. The wedges are not always easy to spot. If you don’t remove every one, you risk bending the keys. I remove all the wedges from every saxophone before I send it out. NO Adjustments to Make. During transit from the factory, the last phase of seating of the pads occurs, as the pads become compressed into their proper position Tiny adjustments are often necessary when the saxophone reaches its destination. The adjustments are simple to perform, but if you don’t know where to put your screwdriver your saxophone won’t play at its best. I play test all Masterpiece instruments and adjust them for you so that they are ready to play when they reach you. I know a good saxophone when I see one. Since 1980, I have been a professional musician. I have taught hundreds of students i n thousands of lessons. I have written more than 60 books. Masterpiece instruments are the same instruments that I recommend to my students. I sit beside them and listen to them play all day long. My warehouse is located in the Adelaide Hills. 6 Ways to Pay.
