Thomann Antique Tenor Sax

This is the first saxophone i have ever had. I have started playing sax 1-1.5 months ago. My opinions about this sax are like this:
Case : Good quality. Enough space to put your strap etc. Its kind of heavy but i think its pretty durable.
Strap : It is a very basic strap. I dont know if the other saxophones come with a strap like this but i would recommend you to buy a proper strap for this because the saxophone is heavy enough and this strap doesnt help much.
Mouthpiece : Honestly i havent played with it much. I have bought a Yamaha 4C. So can't tell whether it is good or bad.
Saxophone : First of all it looks great as it mentioned in the other reviews. The pads feel good. Response seemed good to me but i am a beginner so can't tell much about that. I know that sound can depend on many variables so can't say much about that too but i think it is pretty good for a beginner to learn with. I like the sound of it. It comes with a reed on it also there are two reeds extra. One of them is 2 and the other one is 1.5 (if i remember correctly since i use the 2 one)
I can say that i am pretty happy with this saxophone. And these are my opinions about it as a beginner.

First of all the photos do not do this instrument justice, it looks stunning!

The feel is very good, the tone is absolutely acceptable and the intonation is okay, not great as a few notes need to be lipped up or down on the upper octave, but even on pro horns this is often the case.


I would recommend buying another mouth piece like that
Rico Graftonite Tenor Sax B5, and some reeds (1.5 ? 2), but overall very impressed.

The only downside is the weight, this horn weighs in at around 8lbs, which is a bit on the heavy side, not vastly so but around 0.5-1lbs more than a pro instrument.

In all, I would have no hesitation in recommending this instrument.

I play with the saxophone for about a year as a beginner and i think it's a nice sax to start with. I have played with the specific saxophone in front of my sax teacher and to gigs with bands.
The response i took from everyone and as i can hear it is that It has a nice decent sound.
It allows you to reach the low and high notes. i found it hard as a beginner.
Depending on your technique the saxophone is easily tuned. it's a little more difficult at high F , F# and below Low C#.
That's for the sound.
While playing i found hard accesing Low C from Eb due to bad turning of the plastic roundings . Some other mechanical little parts were unscrewed while playing but i had no problem fixing them.
The last con is that the taps are noisy.
Conclusion. Its a nice instrument for beginners with nice sound but it has its constructive issues. On the other hand you get what you pay for. With on time meintenance the instrument can last and function without problems at all.
I m very happy for this buy.
