My re-entry after years of professional abstinence from the tenor saxophone now to the alto saxophone has fully succeeded through this offer: Quality is affordable after all. The sound is good, the workmanship impeccable, the accessories sufficient to get started immediately. The delivery was prompt and reliable - definitely recommendable.
All in all super

Fast delivery, very nice sound, easy to play, my son (plays the saxophone for 2 years) is thrilled . The instrument was "tested" by his music school teacher and also gets "full marks" from her! Now begins the "long-term test" ;-)

The inexpensive saxophone certainly serves its purpose for beginners. However, professionals should get a more expensive higher quality saxophone. One hears then but the difference in the tones. But as I said: very good for beginners.

Delivery and product flawless.
However: That the saxophone at the special price of 239,90€ was no longer available after 30 November was ok. However, that after my order at the price of 269,99€ the price was lowered again the next day to 246,...€ has left me with the impression that I was screwed.
This is almost as bad as the lottery game with the daily gas prices at the gas station.
That costs one star...

Since I have only recently acquired the instrument, I can of course not yet have any experience about any weaknesses that may occur later on the mechanics.
The sax makes an overall robust impression, all keys work perfectly, the response and intonation is good. However, I have a Yamaha mouthpiece C4 (with Vandoren reeds) in use, which I had ordered (very cheap) on recommendation.
In this price range, this "jug" already has a remarkable quality.
Quite clear "yes" to the purchase decision.
Despite initial doubts, I am very pleasantly surprised and fully satisfied.

Small downer is the chemical smell (glue-like vapors) of the actually good case, which has only subsided after a few days by fresh air. But that happens more often with many new plastic goods and is not of great importance and not to be rated as dramatic.

Conclusion: great entry-level part for a small price with great fun factor ...

Good evening, sir. When I ordered this saxophone I was afraid of its quality, I wanted a tenor but I took the viola and told myself if it does not work well it will be a beautiful decorative object. 4 days after the order the saxophone arrived.
packed in 2 cartons with bubbles in between. I had a Vandoren 2 1/2 reed I mount it on the mouthpiece delivered with the sax and there 2nd surprise the sound comes out relatively well. The next day I received the Selmer Seles prologue mouthpiece (too bad it's not available on this site) with reeds n°2 and there it's bluffing all the notes come out well until F# whereas on the Yamaha or the Jupiter I always had problems from E. I forgot to say as well as the description of the saxophone that it comes with a swab that stays inside when you put it away. I'm very satisfied with my purchase even if there are a few minor varnish drips. I'm waiting to refill the box a little to order an identical tenor.
surprisingly good

for me by far the best beginner sax ! and I have tried in 20 years of experience already some. super response, especially in the low, super soft but above all also very well malleable sound, any timbre is effortless to create, of course with a professional mouthpiece, the supplied is virtually unusable.
i sold my selmer mark VI and now use this as my main instrument !!!!
to all beginners and especially professionals : definitely try it. you will be amazed !!!!!
Very satisfied

For teaching and as a second instrument (for outdoors) I bought the 450 series (alto and tenor saxophone) and rated it 5 stars in all areas because of its easy response and good intonation.

I have started a youth big band and all the saxophonists are equipped with the Classic cantabile series.

I will continue to recommend these instruments to all my new students.

Price-performance ratio sensational!!!

Apart from the uncomplicated order and shipment
we unfortunately have to send the alto saxophone back.
After examination of our saxophone teacher, the sound is according to the price
and the lateral B-flap does not work.
Too bad!
Not a good instrument - for beginners as well as for advanced players

The saxophone has neither a good sound nor a good response. It has poor intonation. I have also given the saxophone to several professionals who have looked at the instrument and they all said that the instrument is bad. I myself have been playing the saxophone for about seven years now, and while I don't have the best, I at least have some experience, and I should have known better than to skimp on instruments. After a few months with the instrument, the first piece of cork fell off. Recently the second one. In addition, there is too much space between the B-flat and the C# and B-flat keys, which are operated with the little finger, making it almost impossible to play faster in lower registers. The case is ok. It has some space to carry the most important things and I also like the fact that you can carry it on your back. The included equipment is also OK. But the instrument sounds bad, can not be played well and has a bad intonation, which you can hardly compensate when playing and if, then it does not sound good. It's no fun to play this instrument and you don't get a good result. The optics are really good, but what good is a nice instrument if there is no nice sound? Thus, my rating of one star comes to stande.
Comment of Musikhaus Kirstein:

Ihre Bewertung klingt stark danach, das etwas mit diesem einen Instrument nicht in Ordnung ist.

Für solche Fälle bieten wir natürlich unsere 3- Jahres Garantie an, wo wir das Instrument kostenfrei zurückholen, überprüfen und Mängel beheben. Auch das Fehlen der Korken und verbogenene Mechanik werden dann behoben.

Auch von unserer Seite wäre es wichtig, dieses Instrument zu sehen, um die Qualität zu gewährleisten.

Haupteinfluss auf die Parameter Klang, Ansprache und Intonation hat neben dem Musiker auch das Mundstück( mit Blattschraube und Blatt), auch dies würden wir im Zuge einer Reklamation gern überprüfen.

Unser Fachpersonal steht Ihnen für weitere Anfragen und Beratungen auch gern direkt zur Verfügung.

After first the reed screw was replaced, the saxophone played perfectly and responded well, although the workmanship is not good. Already at delivery to recognize oxidation spots on the first delivered sax, as well as verdigris in the S-bow of the 2nd sax delivered as a replacement do not expect a long life, which is why both soxophones went back. Only for the problem-free return there is an extra point, therefore 2 points.
Comment of Musikhaus Kirstein:

Schade, dass Sie mit dem gelieferten Instrument nicht zufrieden waren. Bislang hatten wir keine Beanstandungen dieser Art. Sämtliches Rückmeldungen zum AS-450 betonen das gute Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

I was skeptical at first because of the low price, however, I must say that the instrument has both smooth and tightly closing keys. Only the mouthpiece had to be replaced, but you can really not expect more at the low price. So as purchased, so suitable as a beginner instrument, for advanced I would advise a higher quality mouthpiece. The processing of the purchase was fast and uncomplicated.

In this price range, one expects less of an outstanding instrument. But here it is not only a visually appealing saxophone, but also tonally and mechanically quite comparable with much higher priced instruments.
Recommended for beginners and users of second instruments without further ado!
The fun factor is enormous!
I like very much
