TERRIBLE!!!!
By Megin Mcrae
I thought I did my homework, I read the reviews and thought I was getting a toy sax for my 4 year old. I thought this product would be somewhat durable. I wasn’t expecting real metal or anything like that. It came in the mail today and I am TERRIBLY disappointed. It is made out of the CHEAPEST plastic you may get. I am sure this is going to break with in a day of my son getting it. The plastic reminds me of the same material as those plastic easter eggs you may get. Anyway, this is not worth even a dollar in my book. I would love to send it back, but this it seems is the only toy sax out there, and my son has his heart set on getting one. I have never written a review for a product on Amazon before, but this is the biggest piece of cr*p, I felt that I necessitated to.

wonderful little Sax!!
By Diana Cannova
This toy/instrument was a big hit. My six year old nephew loved it, even though he is in all probability on the older end of the age bracket this product was intended for. It actually helps the child use his mind/memorization, using color coded pieces and directions for playing standard songs.
Great product

Like all “Bontempi” instruments!
By Mom in San Jose, CA
This is percentage of our collection which includes this Saxophone, a trumpet, a clarinet, and violin. Our 6-year old twins have applied them since Christmas 2006 and we all take pleasure in them. Not too earsplitting and challenging sufficient to keep them fascinated (have to blow and hold keys at same time).
