Pocket Saxophone Kit, FOVERN1 Mini Sax Portable Woodwind Instrument Professional instruments with 4 Reeds, 8 Dental Pad, Fingering Charts, Carrying Bag for Amateurs and Professional Performers (black)

Handy wee instrument, still trying to master it

If I could give 0 stars I would, absolute garbage, does not work rubbish

Well it arrived promptly, too quickly as I was out & I thought it would arrive the following day. I can understand why in a lot of reviews for this & similar pocket saxophones people say that they don’t work, the reeds supplied are far too hard for a beginner. I play the tenor sax & thought it would be fun to have one of these, but I found it impossible to blow - maybe I wasn’t used to the smaller mouthpiece, but I have played alto before. So I put in a softer reed & it blows OK - not easy mind, I think the mouthpiece is not that good. The sound is not really like a sax, far more like a soft clarinet, but now I can blow notes on the thing I think it will be fun. Nobody could complain about the price. So anyone who bought one of these & is struggling to make a note on it, I’d recommend getting Some 1.5 strength alto reeds (one can get three for just over £6 on Amazon). You should be able to get started with these.

Awful. As someone who is very musical and has played many different instruments, don't buy this. It barely works and it sounds awful when it does work. Imagine a recorder which someone has tried to put a reed in, not a mini saxaphone.

I bought this instrument to learn how to blow and play on woodwind instruments. It is the perfect tool for that purpose.

I bought two . My partner and I are both musicians playing a variety of instruments. We have both played the recorder in the past.( I am a flautist these days). We thought this instrument would be fun and easy to play during lockdown. Not so! The fingering chart is open to interpretation, it's difficult to get the same note twice, and we've no idea what key the instruments are in. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I possess a full size alto sax and it's easier to play than this!

NOT WORTH THE MONEY I PAID FOR IT.

Easy to stow when not using

It doesn't work at all. I have to blow hard to make a sound. I even returned the item it has bern more than 5 days now but I havn't receive my refund money till now. Don't ever ever buy this item!!!!.

I have tried all of them. The top priced from the top flute makers and on down. They are really no different than this one in basic design. The higher priced you go, it seems the less holes they put in them to make it easier. This will play just like the top priced ones, but this one has more notes and is a little steeper in the learning curve because of it. The only reason to go for the higher priced ones is to get a specific octave. This will build your mouth muscles and fingers for the sax or you can just use this to sound like a semi sax and have fun. It works. Once you realize how to go up and down in scale, you will be able to play most songs by ear relatively fast. Anyone that can't produce a sound is doing something wrong. You must first learn how to play through a wind instrument and develop the correct muscles in your mouth to prevent squeaks. This is true with any wind instrument. I was able to play this and after about a week, play significantly most songs by ear. Not to a professional level but to a level sufficient to know what song was being played. It's going to take a little bit of effort if you don't have the natural talent. I see a lot of people leave bad reviews because they just don't have the patience. Unless there is a crack or some physical defect preventing you to play this, then it's you and not the instrument. That may sound harsh, but its better than the other way around since you can more easily fix yourself than the instrument.

Ce mini saxo n'est pas vraiment pas interressant. Il faut souffler énormement pour en tirer un son, et les 2 notes les plus basses sortent à peine. En parallele j'ai acheté d'autres mini saxos, qui sont un peu plus chers mais fonctionnent beaucoup mieux, ce qui prouve que ce n'est pas par manque manque d'experience que je n'arrive pas à en tirer un son correct. Je pense que le probleme vient du bec, et notamment du plan d'appui de l'anche sur le bec, plan qui est brut de moulage et qui est relativement déformé. Ce n'est pas très cher mais au final c'est de l'argent perdu

Como flauta con boquilla de saxo ..está bien para iniciarte...al principio cuesta por la caña detiene que ligar , hay vídeos . Luego el apretar y ajustar la caña en su sitio. Luego practicar con la boquilla y los labios y el soplar en el centro ..todo es practica . Està bien paracojer pràctica para un saxòfon ..también para practicar y llevarlo en una mochila de barbacoa, camping , paseo.. igual como una armónica fàcil de llevar . Ahora debes tener mucha paciencia t practicar ,mirar videos

Llevo años tocando el saxo. Con este objeto, que no es un instrumento, es imposible conseguir un sonido que no se parezca a un gato maullando. Debería de haberme fiado de las reseñas negativas que tiene.
