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.
Hear What 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 black 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 YAS 280, but Less than Half 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.
You can even find cheaper 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 saxophones I bought them from several different suppliers. Some suppliers sent me saxophones that were so badly made they were unplayable. I don't buy from those factories anymore. Some of my competitors must be buying from them because those factories are still in business. 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.
Construction
The body of this saxophone is made from genuine brass - an alloy of copper and bronze, then painted black. The keys are coated with gold lacquer.
The mouthpiece is ABS plastic.

Endorsement for the Masterpiece Brand
"I am very happy with the horn; it plays wonderful, also just want to let you know that the bell is the exact same size as my vintage Selmer Mark V1 and it sounds very similar to the V1. It has the exact same size & shape as the Selmer Mark V1.
I am very impressed.
thank you

NO Packing Materials to Remove
Before manufacturers ship their saxophones to suppliers, they usually insert packing wedges to support the keys in transit. 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. Most suppliers of budget saxophones don't bother to remove these wedges - they simply unpack your saxophone from a shipping container and send it to you. 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. Those suppliers who ship straight from the container and don't even bother to remove the packing wedges care even less about fine-tuning your saxophone before you get it. I play test all Masterpiece instruments and adjust them for you so that they are ready to play when they reach you.
Why buy musical instruments from me?
I know a good saxophone when I see one. Since 1980, I have been a professional musician, teacher and author. I have taught hundreds of students i n thousands of lessons. I have written more than 60 books on how to play musical instruments that have collectively sold more than one million copies worldwide.. Masterpiece instruments are the same instruments that I recommend to my students. I sit beside them and listen to them play all day long.
