Considering the cost of this item it came with much disappointment with acid leak,
blotches and black contamination into the gold plate. Photographs were taken before it's return, serial no. 2500.
It was so bad that we had to visit a well known Saxophone dealer in London to make a comparison and took photographs before return. All their products were clean of blotches and contamination free so we are not happy that Thomann sent us this.
There needs to be more quality control, it is by all accounts an excellent product but it did not impress due to the dreadful finish and potential problems that could occur in future use.
As it was sent straight back we could not rate how it played or how it sounded, big let down from Otto Link and Thomann, suspect B stock. It was sent back but we are tempted to cancel all together if this is what we are going to be sent.
