The Prelude from Selmer is a great option for a student wanting to play tenor sax or for any one looking for a more affordable option. The sax has a quality feel from the keys and a nice resonant tone. The case that comes with the horn is also a solid case to for toting from gig to gig or home to school.

This saxophone will be pleasing to the young or inexperienced musician. It is consistent and it is easy to learn with, as well as very affordable. A young student will like the neat bell engravement. The G#, Eb, low C keys are sticky; break them in by oiling them regularly. Upon purchase of the sax, I recommend purchasing another mouthpiece; another cheap student one will do, but the supplied one is very, very basic and should be replaced. Once you advance, you will want to upgrade, though. A great decision for an entry-level player who wants to get to know the instrument before making any expensive purchases, very affordable and durable enough for a child to take to school. Parents, this is highly recommended for a new young musician.
